HOW TO MAKE TAGLIATELLE WITH BEEF AND CHICKEN LIVER SAUCE
Method
- Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook for 10 minutes or until golden. Add the garlic and pancetta and cook for a further 5 minutes. Crumble in the minced beef, increase the heat and cook stirring the meat for 5 minutes until well browned. Add the chicken livers and cook just until they lose their red colour.
- Add the tomato puree, sherry and sage, season with salt and plenty of black pepper and simmer for a further 10 minutes, until the beef is cooked through.
- Meanwhile cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions. Drain the pasta reserving a ladleful of the cooking water. Put the pasta back into the saucepan, pour over the sauce and add a little of the reserved cooking water if the sauce is a little dry. Divide between four warmed plates and serve with plenty of Parmesan.
