Step 1
Dice the onion into small pieces. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add ground beef to the skillet and brown, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 4 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in crushed tomatoes with their juice and stir. Simmer for 8 minutes until the sauce thickens and deepens in color.
Step 5
While the ragù simmers, boil salted water in a separate pot and cook pappardelle until al dente, about 9 minutes.
Step 6
Drain pasta and toss with ragù. In a bowl, dress arugula and cherry tomatoes with oil, salt, and pepper. Serve ragù alongside the salad.
