PASTA ALLA GENOVESE
To many Neapolitans, the beef sauce La Genovese is at the heart of the city's cooking. Yet it's little more than onions (lots of them) and beef, simmered until both fall apart. Boiling the onions before cooking is a variation on traditional technique and could be considered a shortcut; it does save time, though not a whole lot of it. It's easy enough, and more traditional, to slice the onions raw and increase cooking time accordingly.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the onions in the boiling water, and cook, covered, 15 minutes. Drain the onions, and let cool a bit, then slice very thinly.
- Heat half the oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat; stir in the carrots, celery and bacon, and cook for 4 minutes. Add the beef, then cover with the onions. Pour the remaining oil over the onions, then sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover, bring to a simmer and cook gently until the beef is tender, about 2 hours; the onions will release a good deal of liquid.
- Uncover the pot and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring more frequently as the liquid reduces and lowering the heat as necessary to prevent scorching, until the meat has fallen apart and the sauce is creamy, about 45 minutes. Stir in the wine and taste, adding more wine if desired. Reduce the heat to low, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce is glossy and quite thick, about 15 minutes more.
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and toss with the sauce. Stir in Parmesan to taste, then serve.

Steps:
- Toss 8 ounces green beans with olive oil, salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Quarter 1 pound small red-skinned potatoes; toss with olive oil, salt and pepper on a separate baking sheet. Roast at 425 degrees F until the vegetables are browned, 15 minutes for the green beans and 25 to 30 minutes for the potatoes; let cool. Cook 8 ounces gemelli as the label directs. Drain, then toss with 1/4 cup olive oil and the zest of 1 lemon; let cool. Add the beans and potatoes, the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/2 cup chopped basil and 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts; toss. Top with shaved Parmesan.
RIGATONI ALLA GENOVESE
I have no idea why this amazingly flavorful Genovese-style meat sauce isn't way more popular than it is. It's quite simply one of the best pasta sauces you'll ever taste, thanks to a very slow cooking process, and massive amounts of onions.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook pancetta until most of fat is rendered out, about 6 minutes. Remove cooked pancetta with a slotted spoon and save.
- Raise heat to high and transfer meat to the pot. Season with salt. Cook and stir until liquid releases from beef and begins to evaporate, and meat browns, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-high. Add celery, carrots, reserved cooked pancetta, salt and pepper. Cook and stir about 5 minutes. Add a heaping tablespoon of tomato paste, bay leaf, and white wine. Cook and stir, scraping up the brownings from the bottom of the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sliced onions. Reduce heat to medium. Cover pot and cook 30 minutes without stirring. After 30 minutes, stir onions and meat until well mixed. Cover again, and cook another 30 minutes. Stir.
- Reduce heat to low and cook uncovered 8 to 10 hours, stirring occasionally. Skim off fat as mixture cooks. If sauce seems to reduce too much, add water or broth as needed to maintain a sauce-like consistency. Cook until beef and onions seem to melt into each other.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until just barely al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
- Add rigatoni to the sauce and cook until heated through. Serve topped with a pinch of marjoram and freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

You can use frozen chopped spinach instead of fresh leaf spinach. Also, you can leave out the pine nuts, but it won't taste the same.

- Peel the onions and slice them. Trim the carrot and cut it into three pieces. Season the meat with salt and pepper. In a saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of oil and add the carrot; brown the meat on all sides for 3-5 minutes, then add a splash of white wine and let it evaporate completely. Add the sliced onions, 1/2 cup of water, and mix. Lower the heat, cover the pan, and cook for about 2 1/2 hours. Remove the meat and allow the onions to continue cooking uncovered with the heat a little higher so that they lose moisture. Shred a bit of the meat to use as a garnish. Cut the rest of the meat into small pieces. Pulse the onion in a blender to form a coarse sauce. Place the onion in a pan with the chopped meat. Blend the ricotta with the milk to form a smooth cream.
- For the pasta: break the ziti into thirds and cook in salted boiling water. Once cooked al dente, strain and add the pasta to the pan with the onion and meat; add a drizzle of oil, a pinch
- of grated cheese, and toss for 1 minute. Serve the ziti over a tablespoon of the ricotta cream and top with the shredded meat and some sliced parsley stems.
