Gently simmer for about 30 minutes, until the sauce has reduced and thickened.Bring a large casserole of water to a boil over high heat. Add the pappardelle in the pasta basket and a pinch of salt to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 6 minutes. Drain.Stir the butter into the bolognese sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over the pasta and serve with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
