Ingredients
| 3 tbsp | olive oil |

| 1 | celery stick, chopped |
| 2 | duck breasts (about 350g), skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces |

Method
Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onion, carrot and celery and sauté, stirring from time to time for 10–15 minutes over low heat. Add the duck pieces and cook stirring and turning them over until they change colour all over.
Stir in the garlic and when the aroma rises, add the wine, the tomato passata and about 200 ml of the stock. Add the sage, rosemary and bay leaf, the salt, pepper and sugar, and simmer, covered, over low heat for about 1 hour, adding more chicken stock as the sauce reduces. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Cook the papardelle in a pan of boiling salted water until done al dent. Drain quickly, pour into the saucepan with the sauce and mix very well over low heat. Serve with the grated parmesan.
