How To Make "duck in a bowtie" pasta

Step 1

In a large skillet heat the olive oil. When oil is very hot, add the onion and garlic and saute over medium heat until the onions become very soft, about 8 minutes.

Step 2

Add the celery and carrot and saute for 5 minutes. Raise heat to high and add the ground duck.
Step 3

Saute, stirring frequently and breaking up any large lumps and cook about 10 minutes.
Step 4

Add the tomatoes, parsley and basil and cook over medium low heat until the sauce thickens. Add salt and pepper. This will take approximately 1/2 hour.
Step 5

While sauce cooks down, prepare bowtie pasta according to package directions. Drain well.
Step 6

To serve, divide pasta on serving plates and top with bolognese. Sprinkle with parmesan or pecorino cheese if desired.
