Ingredients
12 ounces pappardelle pasta, cooked until al dente, drained, reserve cooking liquid
4 slices bacon
1/2 lb ground beef

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced

1 1/4 cups RAGÚ® Homestyle Thick & Hearty Traditional Sauce
1/4 cup half and half
2 tablespoons + extra for topping, parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Allow to rest on paper towel. When cooled, crumble.
Drain most of the grease in the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon and return to burner.
Place pan over medium high heat and add beef and pork. Cook until browned. Place into a bowl and set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan and place on medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant. Add onion, carrot, celery and cook until soft.
Add bacon, beef and pork mixture to pan and stir to combine.
Stir in RAGÚ® Homestyle Thick & Hearty Traditional Sauce and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer and add 1/4 cup half and half and 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese. If sauce is too thick, add in 2 tablespoons cooking liquid and stir to combine. Keep adding cooking liquid until desired consistency is reached. Cook for 10 minutes.
Serve beef ragu over pappardelle noodles and top with grated parmesan.
