Beef Ragù Pappardelle

What is it?

Broad pappardelle ribbons come with a slow-cooked beef ragu in this 260g frozen meal. Sauce leans thick rather than soupy, with beef cooked down into small pieces and a tomato base carrying the savoury notes. Pappardelle is wider than the spaghetti or penne you'll find in much of On The Menu's lineup, so it holds onto the sauce in the folds and along the edges. Microwave or heat from frozen, then stir through once it's hot. Pasta is shaped to keep some bite, while the ragu sits more like a coating than a pool of sauce. It's a compact serve at 260 grams, landing closer to an entree or light lunch than a full dinner portion.
