Step 1.
Place a large pan over a medium heat and add the pancetta and butter. Fry for about 5 mins until golden.
Step 2.
Meanwhile, dice the onion, carrot, and celery. Add to the pan with the pancetta and cook for about 5 mins until softened.
Step 3.
Remove the contents of the pan into a bowl and return to a hight heat. Add the beef and a big pinch of salt and cook until browned all over, breaking it up with a spoon as you go.
Step 4.
Pour in the red wine and let it evaporate. Lower the heat, return the onion and pancetta mix to the pan and stir well.
Step 5.
Add the milk and stock followed by the tomatoes and bring up to a very gentle simmer. Cover and leave to cook for an hour and 30 mins, stirring occasionally.
Step 6.
Meanwhile, finely chop the basil and add to a bowl with the ricotta and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
Step 7.
Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente, then drain and allow to cool. Preheat your oven to 200°C.
Step 8.
Once the ragù is ready, season to taste and pour it into a large baking dish.
Step 9.
Take the cooled pasta and use a teaspoon to fill each shell with
ricotta, then nestle it down into the ragù.
Step 10.
Grate the Parmesan over the top and place into the oven for 20 mins until golden.
