- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed

Instructions
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add goat and cook, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes or until browned. Transfer goat to a bowl and return pan over medium heat.
Add remaining 60 ml oil, onion, celery, carrots and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Return goat to pan and stir in wine, thyme and sage. Increase heat to high, bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes or until reduced by one-third. Add 375 ml water, bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low and cook for 1½ hours or until goat is tender and cooking liquid is reduced by half. Transfer goat to a bowl, reserving liquid and the pan.
When goat is cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones and break into pieces. Discard bones and return meat to reserved pan, stirring to combine. Return pan over medium heat and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until heated through. Gently toss through pasta and serve scattered with parsley, chilli and pecorino.
Note
• Ask your butcher to do this for you.
• Pecorino Romano is available from delis. Substitute parmesan or other hard yellow cheese.
