Majority of us love pasta and therefore enjoy it from time to time. However, we sometimes have leftover pasta that sometimes ends up sitting in the fridge with no idea what to do with it. Well, here’s an Oxtail Pasta recipe by Food Lovers Market that will put your leftover pasta into good use. This recipe can also be done with fresh pasta.

For this Italian job, you’ll need following ingredients:

Oxtail pieces

Flour

Onions

Celery stick

Carrots

Garlic cloves

Tomato paste

Smoked paprika

Tinned cherry tomatoes

Fresh cherry tomatoes

Beef stock

Rosemary

Fusilli pasta

Parsley

Begin by pre heating the oven. Heat a large oven-proof pot over medium heat with a splash of oil and dust the oxtail pieces in the seasoned flour then shake off the excess flour before browning the oxtail pieces in batches on all sides. Fry the onions, celery and carrots for about until lightly browned and fragrant, then add the garlic, smoked paprika and tomato paste – cook for a minute or two while stirring, to ensure you cook it out properly to avoid a metallic or bitter taste. Add the tinned tomatoes, fresh cherry tomatoes, beef stock and whole sprigs of rosemary and cook the sauce for about 10 minutes before adding back the browned oxtail before placing in the oven to gently simmer the stew for about 3½ hours.

Remember to check on the stew every 30 minutes and add more stock or water if it looks like it is cooking dry. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Pull all meat off the bones. Place the meat back into the sauce and adjust consistency according to your taste. Mix the meaty sauce with your cooked fusilli pasta and garnish with fresh parsley.
