SALTY'S SMOKED BEEF PORCHINI MUSHROOM RAGU AND THERIAC EGG NOODLE,S

RAGU INGREDIENTS

4# beef chuck smoked with hickory for 4.5 / 5 hours
6 cloves garlic minced
2 medium carrots diced
2 stalks celery diced
3 stalks leeks sliced thin whites
1 bunch parsley
ancho chili & coffee rub courtesy THP
salt and pepper
brazilian starfish powder . courtesy PETER S
28 oz of san marzano tomatoes
3 cups homemade beef stock
750ml good chianti
4 ounces porchini mushrooms and broth from rehydrating
1 sprig rosemary , thyme,parsley
2 tbls tomato paste
1 tbls balsimic vinegar
good parm for topping



INSTRUCTIONS

Rub beef with grey poupon then spice blend . Place roast in smoker with hickory 250 deg for 4 to 5 hours not till tender. Add the onion and garlic to saute pan pot and sauté until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the carrot and the celery and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.Add the flour and the tomato paste, stir and cook for a minute to get rid of the raw flour taste. Then add the balsamic vinegar and cook, scrapping the bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon, until almost all gone, about 5 minutes.Add the red wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 more minutes.Meanwhile, prepare bouquet garni by tying all the fresh herbs together with a kitchen string.When the wine has reduced, add back the smoked beef and the bouquet garni. Add the crushed tomatoes and the beef stock. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium high heat. Then, cover the dutch oven and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 3 hours or until the beef is very tender.If the sauce is too liquidy at the end of the 3 hour cooking period, remove the beef and bring the liquid to the stovetop, over medium heat, to simmer until thickened to your likings.Discard the bouquet garni.Shred the meat into smaller pieces and return to the pot with the sauce. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.Cook the pasta, until al dente.Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the pasta water. Spoon a little of the tomato sauce over the pasta and toss, adding pasta water if necessary.Serve the pasta with the ragu (and some more sauce). Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano.

A Tale of Two Pastas

Making the dough:
 
24d28lw.jpg

 
2 cups flour
4 eggs
Make a well in the center of your flour.  Crack in the eggs and mix with your hands until a dough comes together.  Turn out onto a floured board and knead until the dough is elastic and smooth, adding more flour as necessary.

Roll it out thin as you can, then cut your noodles.  I was going for spaghetti and pappardelle today.

I cut the pappardelle from the remaining dough and rolled them flat by hand.  Then I bundled them and bagged the noodles.

Then I returned the sauce and the meatballs.   :)
 
It's a slow 'simmer all day' kinda marinara. Sweat 1/2 cup chopped carrot, 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/3 cup chopped celery in 3 tbsp olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 6-8 minutes.  Add 2 tbsp minced garlic and 1/2 tsp each of dried oregano and dried basil.  Throw in a pinch of dried rosemary and majoram and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.  Add one cup red wine, bring to a boil and reduce by half.  Add one can tomato paste, 2 jars of tomatoes and a pint of water.  Stir well to combine. Cook for all day or until done, about 2 hours.

Add the meatballs when the sauce has cooked for a few hours, but make sure you're cooking at a low heat simmer else they will be tough.  Then drop your noodles into boiling salted water and cook for 3 minutes.  Once drained, dress with the sauce and meatballs.

The spaghetti and meatballs plated steaming hot:

And on the fork:

Then I wanted to switch gears with the pappardelle, so I decided some garlic scape pesto was in order.  The noodles really puffed up more than I was expecting, but the dish was sublime.  Garlic scape pesto is an easy & quick preparation.  Take a pound of scapes and put them in a food processor along with 4oz of parmesan cheese and a good handful of whatever nuts you have on hand. Press play and add the juice of one lemon.  When that is incorporated drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil, while the machine is running.  Dress your fresh pasta right after it comes out of the water.  I used about a half cup for these noodles.

This is the second time I've made pasta by hand, and I really loved these dishes.  Thanks for looking!
