olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a cost-effective substitute for sautéing.

Prepare the pici by mixing 500 gr of semola with 250 ml of water and a pinch of salt, then knead until smooth.

Roll out the dough into long strands to form the pici.

In a large pot, heat some olive oil and sauté the chopped onions, celery, and carrots until softened.

Add the beef (sorra) to the pot and sear on all sides.

Pour in the red wine and add the herbs (rosemary, bay leaf, sage), salt, and pepper.

Cover and let it cook slowly for 3 hours until the meat is tender and falls apart easily.

Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it.

Serve the pici topped with the rich meat sauce.
