Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Carrot, finely chopped
- 1 Celery stalk, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 Bay leaf
- 0.5 cup Red wine (optional)
- 12 ounces Dairy-free pasta of choice

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté until vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Add the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, bay leaf, and red wine (if using). Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce is thickened and flavors are well developed.
While the ragu simmers, cook the dairy-free pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Once the ragu is done, remove and discard the bay leaf.
Serve the beef ragu over the cooked pasta, garnished with fresh parsley.
Enjoy your hearty and dairy-free pasta with beef ragu!
