1

Cook the fusilli; make the Caesar salad

  • Set aside half the Parmesan for garnish.
  • Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil for the fusilli. Separate the fusilli so the noodles don’t clump together during cooking.
To the pot of boiling water, add the fusilli and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the fusilli. While the water heats and the fusilli cooks, start preparing the ragù.

2

Make the Neapolitan beef ragù

  • Peel and coarsely chop the onion.
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
  • 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.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the marinara and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and the sauce starts to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the fusilli and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the fusilli to individual bowls and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. Serve the Caesar salad on the side.
