Rub the beef roast with salt and black pepper and sear in olive oil for 8 minutes.
Thinly slice the onions and finely dice the carrot and celery.
Add the vegetables to the pot and soften for 10 minutes.
Add the white grape juice and bay leaves.
Cover and cook the meat and onions over low heat for 2 hours 30 minutes.
Remove the meat, shred it, and return it to the onion sauce.
Boil the ziti in salted water for 11 minutes.
Toss the pasta with the sauce and serve with parmesan and parsley.
💡 Tip: Long, slow onion cooking turns the sauce into a sweet tomato-free ragu.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Toss the ziti with plenty of sauce and finish with parmesan and parsley.
