@brighteyes847: Slow-Braised Beef Bourguignon Penne Bake with Caramelized Vegetables and Golden Cheese Crust Recipe -COOKING WITH BRIGHT EYES Ingredients: 800g beef chuck, cut into cubes 1 ½ cups dry red wine 2 tbsp tomato paste 2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds 1 ½ cups mushrooms, halved 1 cup pearl onions 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp thyme 250g penne pasta (or casarecce for extra rustic texture) 1 cup shredded mozzarella ½ cup grated parmesan 1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp olive oil Salt & black pepper to taste Fresh parsley, for garnish Directions: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear beef chunks until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside. In the same pot, sauté pearl onions, mushrooms, and carrots until golden and caramelized (about 8–10 minutes). Stir in tomato paste, smoked paprika, and thyme. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Return the beef to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce is thick and rich. While the beef is braising, cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside. Once the beef is ready, combine it with the cooked pasta in a large baking dish, ensuring everything is coated with the sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan evenly over the top. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
