This recipe tastes like a meeting of Osso Buco and Lasagna Bolognese, yet it's made on the stovetop. Campanelle is a ruffled pasta that resembles small lasagna noodles. I find this cut in imported brands, such as Barilla. If you cannot find campanelle, any curled short pasta or rigatoni pasta may be substituted.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
  • 1 1/4 pounds ground veal
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup beef, chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 12 to 15 leaves fresh basil, torn or shredded, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 pound campanelle pasta, curly small lasagna shapes, cooked to al dente
  • Grated Parmigiano, plus 1/2 cup plus some for passing at the table

Directions

Heat a large deep skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and veal and brown for 2 or 3 minutes. Add carrot, onion, garlic and bay, season with salt and pepper, then cook mixture 4 or 5 minutes more, stirring frequently, to soften veggies and combine flavors. Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup white wine, scraping up all the good bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook the alcohol out of the wine, 1 or 2 minutes. Add broth to the skillet and reduce heat to medium low. Stir in tomatoes and bring sauce to a bubble. Simmer sauce until ready to serve. Add torn basil and wilt the leaves into the hot sauce. Remove bay leaf from the sauce. Toss hot cooked pasta with 1/2 cup, a couple of handfuls, grated cheese. Combine hot pasta and cheese with the veal ragu in a large serving bowl or platter. Serve with extra cheese for topping. Garnish platter with additional basil tops.

    I made it for a banquet of 400 people and everyone loved it! I even made a version without the meat, and it came out just as good.
    Thanks Rachel.

    This was awesome. I had a 5 year old eating twice as much as he normally does - SCORE! I didn't put the cheese on first, but will next time to enhance the flavor even more. Also, I made in the ragu in the morning and then put it in a slow cooker to simmer until dinner time - perfecto.

    I watched the show when Rachael was making this dish and it looked yummy but this recipe as shown online isn't the same....the carrots were shredded in the show and what happened to the white sauce she made to pour over the pasta? Come on Food Network don't let us down.
