Hey guys! We have a great recipe for you today! It’s the Neapolitan Pasta Genovese. This is a great recipe to make with the family! Try it out!
RECIPE:
Genovese Sauce:
60 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 60ml
Stewing Beef, 2.2 Lbs / 1 kg
Yellow Onions, peeled and thinly sliced, 6-8 medium
Guanciale / Pancetta chopped, 1/3 cup
White Wine, 1 cup
Salt & Pepper, QB or As much as you need
500g Ziti, Hand Broken or another short pasta like Rigatoni
Pecorino, 2/3 cup
Parmigiano 2/3 cup
Pasta Water 1/3 cup
In a large pot on a high flame, heat up the olive oil and add the Guanciale and let cook until slightly browned. Add in the beef and stir so it doesn’t stick. Add the onions and the wine and mix together.
When the wine comes to a boil, lower the heat to medium and cook for 5 hours stirring occasionally. The onions should melt down and the meat, soft and tender that easily breaks apart with a fork.
For the pasta, bring a pot to boil and add salt. Add in your short pasta and stir for the first 10 seconds so it doesn’t stick. When pasta is almost at the al dente stage, add the pasta to a pan with the Genovese sauce, add a little pasta pasta to the pan and continue to cook the pasta along side the sauce until it’ al dente. Remove pan from heat and add the grated Pecorino and Parmigiano and toss to mix thoroughly. Serve immediately.

David im your biggest fan from Bangladesh… ❤❤i will very happy if you replied
Hello David
I am big fan of your shows and Italian cooking
I am from Palestine and we share the love of olive oil
I would like you to give us alternatives to using alcohol and pork in your receipies
So you can reach to more international viewers who are not allowed to consume these items
For example can we use vinegar instead of wine and lamb fat instead of pork
Love it
First time I heard about this dish was from watching your Napoli show. Love this recipe.

Chop away from the hairy end of the onion if you don't want teary eyes.

The Pasta alla genovese legend
The most imaginative hypotheses have been made to justify the name of this dish, starting from the Genoese citizens present in the taverns of the Naples port during the 15th century Aragonese domination, by way of a genius unidentified Neapolitan gastronome nicknamed "o' Genovese". Stories also mention the famed Ippolito Cavalcanti who, in his 1837 recipe book, reports several "alla genovese" dishes, of which none unfortunately resemble condiments for pasta.
