Fettuccine With Quick Ragu

Ingredients

  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 stalk celery, cut into 4 pieces
  • 1 small carrot, cut into 4 pieces
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground veal or turkey
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 12 ounces fettuccine
  • Freshly grated parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Pulse the onion, celery, carrot, garlic and rosemary in a food processor until finely chopped.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped vegetables and cook, stirring, until softened and golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the veal, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, milk, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine as the label directs. Drain the pasta, then toss with half of the ragu (about 3 cups). Top with parmesan. Reserve the remaining ragu to make stuffed peppers.
