Genovese Rigatoni

This rich, onion-based Genovese Rigatoni sauce comes from the southern Italian city of Naples. Although the sauce isn’t much more than onions and beef, the flavors develop into a thick, complex and rich sauce after several hours of cooking. Rigatoni is an ideal base for this sauce because it’s strong enough to hold the hearty sauce.
