Instructions

  1. Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel and sprinkle them evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Sear the meat. In a large dutch oven or pot, add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil and heat over medium-high heat for one minute.
  3. Once the pot is hot and working in small batches, sear the short ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Add a tablespoon more of oil to the between each batch if needed.
  4. Place all the seared ribs to a plate and set aside.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced celery, carrots and onions to the same pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender and the onions start to get translucent
  6. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  7. Add in the red wine and using a wooden spoon, scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot to deglaze it.
  8. Then add in the beef broth, pasta sauce, tomato paste, rosemary, sage, thyme, and bay leaves and stir to combine.
  9. Place the seared short ribs back into the pot and bring to a boil.
  10. Cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 2 ½-3 hours, until the meat falls off the bone easily.
  11. Once the meat is tender, remove the ribs from the pot and place them on a cutting board and remove the bones. Increase the heat to medium and let the sauce continue to boil and thicken with the lid off for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  12. Use two forks to shred the beef and then return it back to the dutch oven and stir.
  13. Cook the pasta separate according to your package directions and drain the water into a colander in the sink and set aside.
  14. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the shredded parmesan cheese and then add in the cooked noodles and toss to coat with the sauce.
  15. Garnish with more parmesan cheese if desired when serving. We love it with crusty bread!

Notes

  • Use any other pasta like penne rigatoni, tagliatelle, linguine or other favorite pasta.
  • If the sauce gets too thick, add in a little more beef broth.
  • If the sauce is too thin, continue to cook the sauce with the lid off until it has reduced to desired thickness.
