This hearty and flavorful pasta dish is made with slow-cooked beef ragu and served over tender pappardelle noodles. The key to making this dish is to use high-quality ingredients and to take your time when cooking the beef ragu.

To make this delicious dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 pound beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 pound pappardelle pasta
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

To start, heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Return the beef to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce is thick and flavorful.
While the beef ragu is cooking, cook the pappardelle pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and toss with a little bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
To serve, spoon the beef ragu over the cooked pappardelle noodles. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
This Tender Beef Ragu Pappardelle dish is a perfect combination of tender beef, rich tomato sauce, and hearty pasta. It is a comforting and satisfying meal that is perfect for a cozy night in or a special occasion. The dish is best served hot and garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
