1 lb beef short ribs
1 lb beef brisket
2 onions, halved
2 carrots, each cut into 8 pieces
1 stalk celery, each cut into 4 pieces
2 pinches salt
- Bolognese:
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
2 stalks finely chopped celery
2 finely chopped onions
1/2 lb minced pancetta
1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb ground pork butt
1 tbsp tomato paste
8 cups low sodium beef broth
3/8 cup whole milk
2 tbsp butter
kosher salt and ground black pepper
- Pesto Ricotta:

1 clove garlic
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup ricotta cheese

Directions
- Waffles:
- Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Separate the eggs. In small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Mix together the egg yolks, milk and oil and stir slightly. Add to dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in beaten egg whites. Cook in waffle iron.
- Broth:
- Put all the ingredients in a pot and cover with water. Cook on low; it should boil after about 1 hour. Lower the heat to a low boil. Cook 3 more hours after it has started to boil. Pour the broth through a sieve and refrigerate. The next morning, take off all the fat. You should be left with about 2 quarts of broth.
- Bolognese:
- In a large, deep sauté pan, heat olive oil over high heat and add carrots, celery, onions, and pancetta and cook, stirring, until vegetables are lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the beef and cook another 2 minutes. Add pork and cook until meat is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk together the tomato paste and 1 cup of the broth, and add it to meat. Place pan over low heat so that sauce just barely simmers. When broth has evaporated, add another cup. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally and adding a cup of broth when stew becomes dry, until all the broth has been added, about 3 hours.
- Add milk and butter, and continue to simmer very gently until milk has reduced and sauce is very thick, about 2 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper, and serve with Parmigiano-Reggiano.
- Pesto Ricotta:
- Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Put the basil in a sieve and submerge in the boiling water, stirring, until bright green, 10 to 15 seconds. Submerge in the prepared ice water; drain on a kitchen towel and squeeze dry.
- Meanwhile, using a food processor, puree the basil leaves, garlic, olive oil, nuts, parmesan, ricotta and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
