Ingredients

• 300 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 500 grams Ground beef
• 100 grams Pancetta
• 1 medium, diced Carrot
• 1 medium, diced Celery stalk
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 400 grams Canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 250 milliliters Beef broth
• 125 milliliters Dry white wine
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Create a well in the center and crack the eggs into it. Add olive oil.

Step 2

Using a fork, slowly incorporate the liquid into the flour, then knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Roll the dough out on a floured surface to desired thinness and cut into long strips for tagliatelle. Dust with flour to prevent sticking and set aside.

Step 4

For the Bolognese, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook until crisp. Remove and set aside, leaving the rendered fat.

Step 5

Add diced onion, carrot, and celery to the skillet. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook an additional minute.

Step 6

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Step 7

Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, cooked pancetta, beef broth, white wine, bay leaf, oregano, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavorful.

Step 9

When ready to serve, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free tagliatelle for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Drain.

Step 10

Serve the Bolognese sauce over the tagliatelle, garnished with grated Parmesan and fresh parsley.
