Preparation method:

For the pasta: Make a fountain with the flour on a pastry board and break the eggs into the centre. Knead to obtain a smooth, uniform dough. Shape into a “roll” and allow to rest in a food bag for about ½ hour. Roll out using a rolling pin until not too thin (about 3-4 mm), using some flour to stop it sticking. Leave to dry on a chopping board for as long as necessary. Roll the pasta onto itself and then cut into strips about 1 cm wide using a very sharp knife.

For the sauce: Lightly brown the meat in some oil, then add ½ litre hot water. After 10 minutes, add the tomato concentrate and allow to boil over a low heat for at least 1 hour, stirring from time to time.

Cook the tagliatelle in plenty of boiling salted water and serve with the meat sauce.
