Method
- In a pan over a low heat, fry the onion with a little of the olive oil and the pancetta for 10 minutes. Add the celery and carrots and fry for about 15 minutes until translucent.
- In separate pan, fry and lightly season the meat until browned (see tip). Drain off any fat and liquid in to a bowl.
- Add the meat to the fried veg and pancetta and cook together for 5 minutes. Add the wine, and cook until absorbed and evaporated. Stir in the tomato purée.
- Gradually add the stock and simmer very gently for 1 hour. Taste and season, then serve with tagliatelle and grated grana padano.
