Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
¼ cup canned tomato paste
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup low-sodium beef broth
Two 28-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground beef sirloin
1 (14.5 oz.) can sliced carrots, drained
1 (4 oz.) can sliced mushrooms, drained
Cooked pasta, such as spaghetti, for serving

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and saute for 1 minute just to soften. Add the garlic and season with salt and pepper cooking for about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and thyme and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Deglaze with the beef broth using a wooden spoon to pull up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
Carefully transfer mixture to the slow cooker. Stir in the canned tomatoes. Mix the pork and sirloin together in a separate bowl, using your hands, until combined. Stir the meat into the slow cooker, spreading out evenly and avoiding any large clumps. Cover and cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or on low 8 to 10 hours. During last two hours of cooking, add canned carrots and mushrooms to ragu. Skim the accumulated grease from the top before serving.
Serve over pasta with crusty bread for soaking up the sauce.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN RAGù WITH HERBED RICOTTA

Slow Cooker Chicken Ragù With Herbed Ricotta image

This recipe has a comforting lasagna vibe, as the spicy chicken-and-tomato sauce mingles with the rich, herby ricotta. Make the sauce as hot as you like: Begin with 1 1/2 teaspoons red-pepper flakes for a fairly mild spice level, then add more at the end if you want more heat. You'll notice there isn't much liquid when the chicken and vegetables go into the slow cooker, but have faith: The juices released during cooking end up making a not-too-thick ragù that is perfect for saucing pasta. In fact, because some chicken has more moisture than others, you may end up with more liquid than you'd like. If that happens, turn off the heat so the sauce cools a bit and is not bubbling, then vigorously stir in two egg yolks before you add the pasta. This adds glossy thickening power, just like it does in carbonara.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 small carrot, peeled and chopped
1/2 yellow or red onion, finely minced (about 1 cup)
4 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 sprig fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
1 sprig fresh oregano (or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano)
1 1/2 teaspoons red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can whole tomatoes or crushed tomatoes
8 ounces pappardelle, tagliatelle, fettuccine or other long, thick pasta
1 cup whole-milk or part-skim ricotta
Heaping 1/4 cup chopped soft fresh herbs, such as chives, oregano, parsley or basil, or a mix
Juice of 1/4 lemon (1 to 2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 handful torn fresh basil leaves

Steps:

In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the chicken, carrot, onion, garlic, tomato paste, olive oil, thyme, oregano, red-pepper flakes and onion powder. Add 2 teaspoons kosher salt and a couple grinds of pepper.
Pour the tomatoes and their juices into the slow cooker, crushing the tomatoes with your hands, if using whole. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low until the chicken is very tender, about 6 hours. The ragù will hold well on warm for an additional 1 to 2 hours.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. While the pasta cooks, in a small bowl, combine the ricotta with the chopped herbs, lemon juice and a pinch of salt; set aside.
Coarsely shred the cooked chicken with two forks. Remove and discard the herb sprigs and add the vinegar and the basil leaves. Taste the sauce, adding more red-pepper flakes, if you like. Turn off the slow cooker. Pour the drained pasta into the slow cooker and toss to combine.
Divide among bowls and top with the ricotta mixture.
