One-Pot Braised Beef Rigatoni Not gonna lie—doing dishes is my least favourite part of cooking. So if I can pack all the flavour into one pot? Say less. This one’s cozy, hearty, and hit just right with the cold weather lately. Recipe: Ingredients: • 2 lbs Chuck Roast • 1 large Carrot, diced • 2 stalks Celery, diced • 1 large White Onion, diced • 3 cloves Garlic • 2 tbsp Tomato Paste • 4 cups Beef Broth • 4 cups Crushed Tomatoes • 1 cup Water • 2 sprigs Thyme • 2 sprigs Rosemary • 3 Bay Leaves • 500g Rigatoni • 2 tbsp Salt • 1 tbsp Black Pepper • ½ bunch Basil • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese Method: Cut the beef into large, even chunks and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large Dutch pot over medium-high heat with a splash of oil, then sear the beef on all sides. Once browned, remove and set aside. In the same pot, toss in your carrots, celery, onion, and garlic—sauté for 2–3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and let it cook down with the veg for another 2–3 minutes. Pour in the broth, crushed tomatoes, water, and toss in your thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Bring it all to a simmer, then return the beef to the pot. Let that low-simmer magic happen for 2 hours, until the meat is fall-apart tender. Once done, take it off the heat and let it cool slightly. Shred the beef, then stir it back into the sauce. Fold in your cooked rigatoni, then finish with cheese, parsley, and basil. Serve hot. Comfort in a bowl. #onepotpasta #braisedbeefpasta #easyrecipes #nikoncreators #poweredbynikon
