Chef's Tip

Enjoy it fresh! Because our fresh pastas are so, well, fresh, we recommend separating the strands before cooking so they don't clump together. After you add them to the boiling water, stir them a few times as they cook to keep them apart.

Ingredient IQ

The French word mirepoix, pronounced “meer-pwah,” first appeared in culinary writings in the early 1800s. It refers to the trio of onion, carrot, and celery that provides the foundation for countless recipes. Many cultures have a blend like it: Spanish sofrito combines onion, garlic, and tomato; the German Suppengrün blends leek, carrot, and celery root; and the Cajun holy trinity mixes onion, celery, and green bell pepper.

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the Bolognese ingredients; cook the fettuccine

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Separate the fettuccine so the noodles don’t clump together during cooking.
  • Cut a small corner from the ground beef packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Measure ½ cup [1 cup] milk; save the rest for another use.
To the pot of boiling water, stir in the fettuccine and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the fettuccine.
While the fettuccine cooks, start the Bolognese.

2

Cook the Bolognese

In a large sauce pot over medium heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the mirepoix, season with salt and pepper, and cook until just starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the milk and marinara and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and the beef is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the fettuccine, and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the Bolognese cooks, prepare the remaining ingredients.

3

Cook the baby broccoli

  • Trim the root ends from the baby broccoli.
  • Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp].
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the fettuccine and sauce to individual bowls and garnish with the Parmesan. Serve with the baby broccoli.
