PICI pasta
1

Prepare a rich vegetable broth by heating 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan.

2

Add 1 onion, 1 carrot, and 1 stick of celery to the pan and brown them.

3

Once browned, pour in cold water and bring to a boil to release the aromas of the vegetables. Add salt to taste.

4

Add 1 potato, 1 ripe tomato, 1 courgette, and the rind of Grana cheese to the broth for extra flavor.

5

While the broth cooks, chop the carrot, celery, and onion into cubes for the sauce.

6

In a large pan, heat some olive oil and add the chopped vegetables, 1 clove of garlic, 1 sprig of rosemary, and 1 bay leaf. Cook for 5 minutes over high heat.

7

Add the Chianina meat to the pan and cook until completely browned over lively heat.

8

Deglaze the pan with a glass of red wine and let it evaporate.

9

Pepper the meat but do not add salt, as the broth will provide enough flavor.

10

Pour the boiling broth over the meat until it is completely covered.

11

Put a pot of water on the fire to boil for the pasta.

12

Once the water boils, add the PICI pasta and cook for about 19 minutes, but drain it 5 minutes early for al dente texture.

13

Add the drained pasta to the sauce to absorb the flavors, adjusting cooking time if using a different pasta shape.

14

When the broth has reduced, remove the garlic, bay leaf, and rosemary from the sauce.

15

Add 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce to the sauce and mix well.

16

Drain the pasta and add a few ladles of broth to finish cooking in the pan.

17

Serve the pasta in a nest shape and garnish with the ragù.
