beef ragù with pappardelle

Beef Ragù With Pappardelle

This is my beef ragù with pappardelle and it is a keeper. Hearty, comfort food that’s perfect for the dead of winter. The word “ragù” comes from the French word “ragoutier,” which means “awake your appetite“.  Ragù originated as a simple meat sauce, traditionally made with leftovers, and served as accompaniment to pasta. There is evidence that […]

ropa vieja

Ropa Vieja

Ropa vieja is considered comfort food.  I can see why.  I first had ropa vieja on the Upper West Side of Manhattan at La Caridad.  This traditional Spanish dish, which translates to “old clothes,” is so named because the shredded meat looks torn, like old clothing. Prepared like a stew, the primary flavors–tomato, beef, pepper, […]
