Preheat your oven to 150°C. In a large baking dish or slow cooker, add the chopped carrots, then the chopped onions, and finally the chopped celery. Place the beef shin or beef brisket into the center of the vegetables.

Pour the beef broth into the dish. Add the chopped tomatoes and squeeze in the tomato paste. Pour in the red wine (or balsamic vinegar if using).

Sprinkle oregano and paprika over the ingredients. Add the garlic. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle 50 g of Parmesan cheese over the mixture.

Using a spatula, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, ensuring the beef is largely submerged in the sauce. Place the lid on the baking dish.

Carefully place the covered baking dish into the preheated oven. Cook for approximately 4 hours (240 minutes). You may optionally turn the beef halfway through cooking.

After cooking, remove the dish from the oven and take off the lid. The beef should be tender. Using tongs, carefully remove the beef from the sauce and place it on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the beef until it falls apart easily.

Return the shredded beef back into the sauce in the baking dish. Add the cooked wholewheat pasta to the dish. Mix the pasta, shredded beef, and sauce together.

Sprinkle the remaining 50 g Parmesan and 50 g Cheddar cheese evenly over the pasta and beef mixture. Return the dish to the oven (this time uncovered) for an additional 10 minutes to melt and lightly brown the cheese.

Remove the finished dish from the oven. Serve onto plates and enjoy.
