How to Make Ziti alla Genovese | Classic Neapolitan Ragù

What’s the secret to one of Naples’ most beloved pasta dishes? 🇮🇹 Ziti alla Genovese! A rich, onion-heavy slow-cooked ragù where 4 pounds of onions melt down into a velvety sauce, coating tender beef and perfectly al dente ziti. The key? Patience. This sauce simmers for 4 hours, allowing the onions to break down.

Serve it up with a glass of white wine and experience true Neapolitan comfort food. Let the sauce sit overnight—it's even better the next day!

Ingredients:
2 lbs beef chuck, cubed
4 lbs yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp lard
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
Salt & pepper to taste
1 cup white wine
Ziti pasta
Grated Parmigiano Reggiano (optional)

Instructions:
Crack a few windows open in the house before you begin!
1. Thinly slice 4 lbs of yellow onions using a mandolin and set aside.
2. In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp lard and brown 2 lbs beef chuck on all sides.
3. Add 2 diced carrots and 2 diced celery stalks, cooking until softened.
4. Pour in 1 cup of white wine and let it evaporate completely.
5. Add 2 bay leaves, salt, and pepper to taste.
6. Add all the onions, stir, and lower the heat. Let it cook on low for at least 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
7. Boil ziti until al dente, reserving some pasta water.
8. Toss the pasta with the sauce in a pan with a scoop of pasta water, or plate the sauce directly over the pasta.
9. Top with grated Parmigiano Reggiano if desired.
