Matzo Gnocchi With Brisket Ragu Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Add the onion and continue cooking until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the escarole, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the escarole is completely wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the gnocchi and add to the pot with the escarole mixture. Add the reserved cooking water and stir to coat, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, parmesan and parsley; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables have softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a minute. Add the brisket, collards, chicken broth, tomatoes and sugar. Simmer, covered, over low heat for 12 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• In two batches, heat half (3 tablespoons) of the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the pasta, lower the heat to medium and cook until lightly browned and crispy at the edges, 5 to 6 minutes per batch.
• To serve: Toss together the brisket ragu and the crispy pasta, and divide it between four plates. Garnish each serving with a basil leaf and two pieces of shaved Parmesan.
