Ingredients

• 500 grams Lamb shoulder (boneless, cubed)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 0.5 cups Dry white wine
• 1 cups Chicken or beef stock
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 400 grams Fresh pasta (tagliatelle or pappardelle)
• 1 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the lamb cubes with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the lamb in batches, searing each piece until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the chopped rosemary to the skillet and stir, allowing the herb to release its aroma, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan with dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste, followed by the chicken or beef stock. Mix well to create a rich sauce.

Step 7

Return the seared lamb to the skillet, ensuring it is coated in the sauce. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for 30-35 minutes until the lamb is tender and the flavors have melded.

Step 8

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fresh pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.

Step 9

Once the lamb is tender, adjust the seasoning of the sauce with additional salt and pepper if needed. Optionally, stir in the reserved pasta water to thin the sauce slightly.

Step 10

Toss the cooked pasta with the butter into the sauce, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.

Step 11

Serve immediately, garnishing with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
