Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup carrots, diced

1 cup celery, diced

1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes

2 cups beef broth

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

12 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice

½ cup heavy cream

Fresh basil, for garnish

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions
 

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

      Transfer the sautéed vegetables into the slow cooker. Add the browned beef, crushed tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

        Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the beef is tender.

          Once the beef is cooked, cook the pasta according to package instructions while the sauce is finishing.

            Drain the pasta and add it to the slow cooker. Stir in the heavy cream and combine everything gently to ensure the pasta is coated with the rich sauce. Let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on low to heat through.

              Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
