How to make it
Sauce
- Heat oil in a 5qt stock pot over medium heat. Add celery, carrots and onion and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and crushed red pepper and saute another 2 minutes, stirring. Add beef and pork and break up as it browns. Cook until most of liquid is gone. Season with salt and pepper. Add thyme, oregano and mushrooms and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring. Add wine and cook until reduced by at least half. Add tomato sauce & tomatoes, stir, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for at least 1 1/2 hours (the longer the better), stirring.
Ricotta Topping
- Combine ingredients and mix to combine. Refrigerate if not using right away.
- Cook pasta al dente 10-15 minutes before ready to serve. Toss with sauce. Top each serving with a dollop of the Ricotta topping.
