Method

Hide images
step 1
Heat a large saucepan over a medium-high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the venison mince (1 pack) and pancetta (70 g) and cook for 7-8 minutes, breaking up the mince with a spoon until golden brown.
step 2
Add the soffritto (150 g), garlic (1 clove) and butter (25 g). Cook for a further 5 minutes, until the soffritto is soft, then add the tomato purée (2 tbsp). Cook out until the oil starts to separate from the tomato purée.
step 3
Add the wine (150 ml), beef stock (150 ml) and bay leaf (1). Bring to a boil and then reduce to a low simmer. Lightly place a lid onto the pan so it’s half-covered.
step 4
Cook for two hours, adding the milk (150 ml) a little at a time as you do, until the ragu is thick and rich. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 5
When the ragu is almost ready, bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to the boil. Drop in the tagliatelle (400 g) and cook for 3-4 minutes, until al dente. Drain and toss with the ragu sauce.
step 6
Serve topped with the finely grated parmesan (50 g).
