Ingredients

Method

1. In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the tomato paste, flour, and vinegar. Stir in the onion, garlic, and thyme. Add the tomatoes, crushing them with your hands.
2. Cut the brisket against the grain into 8cm-thick pieces, then cut those pieces in half crosswise. Season them with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and nestle in the sauce. Cover and cook until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart, 6 to 7 hours on high or 8 to 9 hours on low.
3. Twenty minutes before the ragu is finished, cook the pasta according to package directions.
4. Discard the thyme and, using two forks, break the meat into smaller pieces. Serve over the pasta and top with basil and cheese, if desired.
