1 small red onion grated
1 cup of chopped parsley
3 cloves of garlic chopped
1 tablespoon of Harissa
2 teaspoons of Pimenton De La Vera or sweet Paprika
1 cup of olive oil
Directions:
To make the marinara, pour the olive oil in a large pot, add the anchovies and the oil of the anchovies. Let the anchovies dissolve then add the onions, and the garlic, cook until translucent. Add the canned tomatoes, the parsley whole, thyme, basil, Harissa, salt and pepper. Let cook on medium heat for a couple of hours or until all the tomatoes are soft. Put through a hand cranked food mill and set aside.
To make the hamburger, pour the olive oil in a pan, add the onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add the hamburger, paprika, parsley, Harissa and cook until it is the consistency of Bolognese. Add two cups of the marinara sauce and cook for another 5 minutes.
For the Pappardelle pasta, fill a pot with water, add salt. When the water starts to boil, add the pasta and let cook until it is almost cooked or eighty percent cooked. Add some of the pasta water to the Bolognese and toss in the pasta and cook for a minute. The pasta will absorb some of the sauce. Plate the pasta and grate some Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese on the pasta. Drizzle some olive oil to finish it.
