Instructions

1In a large pot with olive oil, sear the beef cubes well until evenly browned on all sides. Remove the meat and set it aside.
2In the same pot, add the onion, carrot and celery. Sauté over medium heat for about 8–10 minutes until the vegetables soften and lightly caramelize.
3Stir in the garlic and thyme, sauté for a minute, then deglaze with wine (if using) and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
4Return the meat to the pot, add the tomato purée, stock and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to minimum.
5Cover the pot and slowly cook the ragù for 75–90 minutes, or until the meat is completely tender and almost falling apart. Add a little water if needed.
6During the last 10 minutes of cooking the ragù, cook the whole wheat macaroni "al dente" in salted water.
7Do not drain the macaroni completely – add it directly to the ragù along with a few tablespoons of the cooking water. Mix everything well so the sauce coats the pasta. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
