The story of this Beef Ragu with Pappardelle started when Dana went up to a party in Brooklyn a couple of months ago. The party was just around the corner from a pasta shop. Looking through the shop she spotted some of the best looking pappardelle
around. She had to buy it. Once she got home I was excited to try it out. I wanted to make something to utilize the pasta to its fullest potential
. So I decided to make the ultimate comfort food, a Ragu! To make it easy on me, I braised the beef in a slow cooker
. Set it and forget it. It does not get any easier than that.
