1 lb rigatoni noodles
2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into small pieces
4 onions, thinly sliced
4 tbsp olive oil
1 cup white wine
3 cups beef broth
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until caramelized, about 20 minutes.
Add the beef stew meat to the pot and cook until browned on all sides.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
Add the beef broth, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 3 hours, or until the meat becomes tender.
In a separate pot, cook the rigatoni noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Once the meat is tender, remove the bay leaves and use a fork to shred the beef into smaller pieces. Mix it back into the sauce.
Serve the rigatoni noodles with the Genovese sauce on top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
