Ingredients

• For the Pasta:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • A pinch of salt
  • Water, as needed

• For the Beef Sauce:

  • 1 lb beef (preferably chuck or brisket), cut into cubes
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1-2 tomatoes, diced (or 1 cup canned diced tomatoes)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or dill), for garnish

Instructions

1. Making the Pasta:

   • On a clean surface or in a large bowl, create a mound with the flour and make a well in the center. Add the eggs and a pinch of salt into the well.
   • Gradually mix the flour into the eggs, starting from the edges of the well, until a dough begins to form.
   • Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Cover it with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. Preparing the Beef Sauce:

   • In a heavy skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until they turn translucent and fragrant.
   • Add the beef cubes, browning them on all sides. This step locks in the flavor, creating a beautifully rich sauce.
   • Once the beef is browned, stir in the diced carrot and tomatoes, cooking for another few minutes.
   • Pour in the beef broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and let the beef cook slowly for about an hour or until it becomes tender, stirring occasionally.

3. Cooking the Pasta:

   • Roll the rested dough out to your desired thickness, then cut it into your favorite pasta shape—tagliatelle or fettuccine work beautifully!
   • In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook your fresh pasta for 2-3 minutes or until it floats to the top and is al dente.
   • Drain the pasta, reserving a bit of the cooking water.

4. Combining the Dish:

   • Once the beef is tender, add the cooked pasta directly into the skillet with the beef sauce. Toss gently, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to achieve the desired sauce consistency.
   • Let it simmer together for a minute, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

5. Serving:

   • Serve the dish hot, garnished with fresh herbs that evoke the lush countryside. Enjoy your pasta with beef at a rustic table, surrounded by family, laughter, and perhaps a glass of your favorite drink.
