You can caramelize your own onions for this but I find a store-bought onion jam works just fine!

## Equipment
* Wide pot
* Large pot
## Ingredients
* 4 ounces prosciutto diced
* 1 pound ground beef
* 1 pound hot Italian sausage loose
* 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
* 1 tablespoon olive oil if needed
* 1 yellow onion peeled and diced
* 3 ribs celery with leaves diced
* 8 cloves garlic peeled and minced
* 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite onion jam
* 28- ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
* 2 cups water or beef stock
* Salt pepper, and crushed red pepper to taste
* ⅓ cup heavy cream
* 16 ounces dry rigatoni
## For serving:
* Fresh basil leaves
* Freshly grated parmesan cheese
## Instructions
## Cook the prosciutto:
* Place the prosciutto in a wide pot and turn the heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes until the fat begins to render.
* Add the beef and sausage and cook for 12-15 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Remove all but 1 tablespoon fat from the pot.
## Cook the mushrooms:
* Add the mushrooms to the pot and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
## Cook the aromatics:
* If the pot is dry, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the mushrooms. Add the diced onion and celery to the mushrooms and cook for 6-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
* Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the onion jam and toss to coat.
## Simmer the ragu:
* Return the cooked meat to the pot. Add the whole peeled tomatoes and 2 cups of water or beef stock. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Add more water or beef stock if the liquid evaporates too quickly. Once thick, turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Keep warm.
## Make the pasta:
* Once the ragu has finished cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente. Remove 1/4 cup of pasta cooking water and then drain the pasta.
* Turn the heat on the ragu to medium-high. Once bubbly, add the pasta cooking water and stir to combine. Add the cooked pasta and toss for 1 minute until glossy. Turn off the heat.
## To serve:
* Divide the pasta and ragu between bowls. Serve with basil, parmesan, and extra virgin olive oil if you like!

I LOVED it! Re-read the instructions a ton of times because I was suspicious at the lack of seasoning for the meats, but WOW did their flavors shine through. Thanks for the share, it's now going to be on rotation and a go-to when having a gathering.
