Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in tomato paste, then add wine and canned tomatoes. Simmer on medium-low for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Meanwhile, add pappardelle to boiling water and cook until al dente, about 9 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 6
Toss pasta with ragù in the skillet, adding pasta water 1/4 cup at a time until the sauce coats each ribbon. Season with salt and pepper.
