Part 3/8:
Rosco starts by simplifying the ingredients. He focuses on the core components: ground beef, garlic, tomato paste, white wine, crushed tomatoes, and a touch of cream. He emphasizes that the added cured meats, like pancetta, lend a remarkable depth—claimed as a "six-star" ingredient—adding richness that elevates the sauce beyond its original simplicity.
He explains the process in detail: breaking apart the ground beef while rendering it in the Instant Pot, adding garlic, then stirring in tomato paste, wine, and crushed tomatoes to develop a robust flavor base. Rosco recommends using tomato paste from a tube as it provides a cleaner, less crusty result compared to canned paste, and enlivens the sauce with a vibrant color.
