Ingredients

olive oil, for frying
500g lamb mince
1 onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 stick celery, finely chopped
fresh oregano, a bunch, leaves picked
150ml red wine
2x 400g tins plum tomatoes
tagliatelle (or other pasta) to serve
Parmesan, finely grated, to serve

  1. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a casserole over a high heat and fry the lamb mince until really crisp. Scoop out onto a plate. Add the onion, carrots, celery and 3/4 of the oregano to the casserole with a pinch of salt and a little more oil. Cook for 15 mins stirring regularly, until the veggies are soft.

  2. Tip the mince back in, along with the red win, and reduce by half. Add the tomatoes and half a tin of water, then simmer gently for 1h 30 mins until thickened. Season with salt and lots of black pepper. Sprinkle the remaining oregano leaves over the ragu, then serve with tagliatelle and Parmesan.
