- 1/3 cup olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 lb. beef rib bones (ask your butcher)
- 12 cups chicken stock
- 1 medium carrot, minced
- 1 small white onion, minced
- 1 stalk celery, minced
- 1 lb. ground flank steak (ask your butcher)

Preparation
Step 1
1. Heat oven to 300°. Toss tomatoes, half the oil, salt, and pepper on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Cook until caramelized and dried out, about 1½ hours. Transfer to a food processor; purée until smooth. Heat a 6-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook bones until browned, 8–10 minutes. Add stock; simmer, skimming as needed, about 1 hour. Discard bones.
2. Heat remaining oil in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Cook carrot, onion, and celery until golden, 8–10 minutes. Add beef; cook, stirring and breaking up meat into small pieces, until browned, 8–10 minutes. Add wine; reduce by half, 2–3 minutes. Add reserved tomato purée, ½ cup reserved stock, 2 bay leaves, salt, and pepper; simmer until sauce is very thick, about 25 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Meanwhile, bring remaining stock to a boil; cook pasta until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to sauce; add cheese and toss. Garnish with remaining bay leaf, the rosemary, and sage.
