Uhmm good job but i have to really explain you if you want how prepare a good Ragu (in Italy we just call it RAGÚ)

Ad some oil with garlic and sliced onion,tlet it goes up to the onion looks a little bit golden but not burned.Then add carrots and a little bit of celery but a little bit and let it goes for 5 min then Add the 100% beef (i prefer 50% beef 50% pork because the ragú is more greasy and tasty ) and turn the fire at Max and turn it with a spoon every minute up to the meat lose the water and looks a little brown then add 1 glass of white wine (dry wine) and let it goes till evaporated then add tomatoes but not Sliced or cubed have to find tomatoe sauce and 2 spoons of tomatoes concentrate ,add tomatoe sauce to cover the meat completely and add 2 glasses of water and set fire at medium and let it goes uncovered and add Salt,have to repeat the addiction of water normally 1-2 times when see the ragú looks dry.Remember a good ragú have to cooks like 3-4 hours not less.
Im Italian from Italy :)

We prefere to use red wine when want to cook a Boar ragú so there u have to use Red wine because Boar taste is very strong instead beef and 50/50 is sweeter and mild than that

That makes sense. I usually use red with wild game as well.

But i want to say that he prepared the original Ragu alla Bolognese as described everywhere on books but without cubed tomatoes that nobody use here to cook a ragu.

Nice bolognese and pappardelle! I’ve used Marcella’s recipe before and it’s a good one.
