Amy Gulick shares her Sugo di agnello recipe, a wonderfully versatile lamb sauce that can be served with pasta, polenta or grilled bread. Perfect for a quick after work meal, it can be prepared in just 30 minutes.
To begin, cut the lamb into small pieces, no larger than 1cm, or roughly the size of a small hazelnut. Trim away some of the fat as you go. Set aside

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, add the shallots and cook until soft. Pour in the wine, stir, and reduce for a few minutes
3
When most of the wine has cooked off, add the lamb. Brown the pieces evenly for about 2 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste
4
Add the tomato purée, tomato paste and bay leaf. Stir until all the ingredients are fully combined, then cover and simmer on a low heat for 7–10 minutes. When ready, top with the fresh parsley and grated cheese
5
Serve over warm polenta with grilled bread, or as a pasta sauce
