Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 large onions, peeled and finely sliced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 7 ounces ground lamb
  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon white wine
  • 1 1/4 cups vegetable stock
  • 14 ounces fettuccine
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Method

  • In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil and saute the onions, carrot, and rosemary over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until softened and golden, 5 minutes.
  • Add the lamb and mix well, allowing the meat to crumble.
  • Cook, stirring frequently, until the meat has browned all over, 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the wine and cook for another 3 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
  • Season with salt and pepper and pour in the stock.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
  • Stir every 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
  • Drain the pasta and immediately add to the meat sauce.
  • Increase the heat to high and gently mix the sauce and the pasta together for 30 seconds, stirring continuously, to allow the sauce to coat the pasta evenly.
  • Serve immediately, topped with the freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
