  • 500g lamb mince
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, finely chopped
  • 2 sticks celery, finely chopped

    Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a casserole over a high heat and fry the lamb mince until really crisp. Scoop out onto a plate. Add the onion, carrots, celery and threequarters of the oregano to the casserole with a large pinch of salt and a little more oil. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the veg is soft.

  • STEP 2

    Tip the mince back in, along with the red wine, and reduce by half. Add the tomatoes and half a tin of water, then simmer gently for 1 hour 30 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and loads of black pepper. Sprinkle the remaining oregano leaves over the ragu, then serve with tagliatelle and parmesan.
