Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat your broiler to low. Wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt (use same for 4 ppl) in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While water comes to a boil, peel, then cut carrot into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Heat a large oven-proof pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then carrots and shallot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 2-3 min. Add rigatoni to the large pot with boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 11-12 min.
While rigatoni cooks, to the pan with veggies, add lamb. Cook, breaking up lamb into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 2-3 min.** Add Italian Seasoning, garlic, crushed tomatoes, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until ragù thickens, 6-7 min.
When rigatoni is tender, reserve 1/4 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain. Add rigatoni and reserved pasta water to ragù mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Stir together to coat. Remove pan from heat.
Dollop ricotta over ragù mixture, then sprinkle with Parmesan. (NOTE: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, transfer the mixture to a 8x8-inch baking dish before assembling and broiling. Use a 9x13-inch baking dish for 4 ppl.) Broil, in the middle of the oven, until the cheese melts and is golden-brown, 2-3 min.
Divide lamb ragù pasta between bowls.
