A delicious twist on possibly the most well-known Italian dish, my tagliatelle with beef fillet is a great weekend winter warmer. The ragu itself is so simple and is a great staple sauce which you can use in different dishes; the classic combination of beef and celery is fantastic.
Nothing complements this tasty treat better than a nice bottle of Chianti Classico.
Ingredients - Serves 4
250g tagliatelle
150g beef fillet (cut finely into strips)

2 stick of celery
