Cooking tips 💡

• When sautéing the meat, continue cooking until all moisture has evaporated and the meat sizzles like it’s frying in oil—this ensures deep, rich flavor.
• Cooking the sauce in the oven instead of on the stovetop prevents burning and allows even evaporation of moisture, resulting in perfect consistency.
• Store leftover ragù in portioned ziplock bags and freeze—it can be used anytime for delicious meat pasta dishes.
