Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with the boiling water, add a generous pinch of salt and place over high heat.
• Cook fettuccine in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water (see ingredients). Drain fettuccine, then return
to saucepan.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice zucchini into half-moons. Finely chop garlic.
• Transfer slow-cooked beef brisket including the liquid to a bowl and shred using
two forks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook zucchini,
stirring, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and season to taste with salt
and pepper.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook garlic and
tomato & herb seasoning, stirring until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add shredded beef and cook, stirring, until heated through and liquid has
evaporated, 4-5 minutes.
• Stir in passata, the brown sugar, butter and reserved pasta water, until slightly
reduced, 1-2 minutes.
• Remove from heat, then stir through baby spinach leaves, cooked zucchini and
fettuccine, until combined. Season to taste.
• Divide saucy beef brisket ragu fettuccine between bowls.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: The beef brisket ragu was well loved by most, with rich tomato-herb flavour, though some found it a little bland or dry and felt it needed more sauce or seasoning.
- Ease of prep: The pre-cooked brisket made this dish easy to pull together, though several customers noted the brisket needed to be heated through before it could be shredded easily — the recipe does not mention this step.
- Suggestions: Several customers noted the brisket contained a lot of fat that needed to be trimmed before cooking. Adding extra vegetables such as mushrooms, capsicum, or peas was suggested by multiple customers to bulk out the dish, as one zucchini felt insufficient for a three-person serve. A few customers also felt the dish needed more passata or tomato flavour to prevent it from being dry.
- Portions: Some customers felt the pasta-to-sauce ratio was off, with too much pasta relative to the amount of sauce and meat provided.
