Directions
Step 1
With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
In a Dutch oven or ovenproof pot over medium-high heat, brown half of the beef at a time in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside on a plate.
Step 3
In the same pot over medium heat, brown the onion, carrots, celery and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute while stirring. Deglaze with the wine and let reduce for 1 minute. Return the meat to the pot. Add the beef stock and thyme. Bring to a boil. Cover. Transfer to the oven and bake for 2 hours or until the meat is tender. Remove from the oven.
Step 4
Remove and compost any excess fat from the meat as needed. Remove and compost the thyme sprigs. Shred the meat by pressing on it with a wooden spoon. Set aside.
Step 5
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until very al dente (see tip). Set aside 1 cup (250 ml) of the cooking water. Drain the pasta and add to the pot of meat. Add ½ cup (125 ml) of the reserved pasta cooking water and half (1/2 cup/35 g) of the Parmesan. Reheat everything for 1 minute, stirring to coat the pasta in the sauce. Add more pasta cooking water to thin out the sauce as needed. Adjust the seasoning.
Step 6
Divide the pasta among four plates. Top with the remaining Parmesan. Sprinkle with the parsley.
