Butcher's Ragù with Fusilli - Mario Batali

Butcher's Ragù with Fusilli - Mario Batali was pinched from <a href="http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/butchers-ragu-with-fusilli" target="_blank">www.foodandwine.com.</a>

"At Eataly's pasta and pizza counter, Mario Batali's team serves three different pasta shapes with a choice of about five different sauces ("made by some crazy dudes," says Batali). For the first time ever, he's going to let his customers match the sauce with the pasta shape. This sauce, an ever-so-slightly creamy ragù made with ground beef, pancetta and ham, is flavored with tomato paste instead of canned tomatoes...."
