Ingredients

Directions

Place an oven rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Season the ribs with salt and pepper. In a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or ovenproof stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. In batches, add the ribs and brown on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the ribs and set aside. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, wine and mustard. Bring the mixture to a boil and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return the ribs to the pan. Add the beef broth, cover the pan and place in the oven for 2 1/2 hours until the meat is fork-tender and falls easily from the bone.

Remove the ribs from the cooking liquid. Using a large spoon, remove any excess fat from the surface of the cooking liquid. Using a ladle, transfer the cooking liquid in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and keep warm over low heat. Remove the meat from the bones. Discard the bones. Using 2 forks, shred the meat into small pieces. Stir the shredded meat into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and place in a large serving bowl. Using a slotted spoon, remove the meat from the sauce and add to the pasta. Pour 1 cup of the sauce over the pasta. Toss well and thin out the pasta with more sauce, if needed. Sprinkle the pasta with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving.

    I have tried many FN recipes lately, most good but none recently that were "keepers" that I would want as one of my go to recipes. Until this one. Oh gosh this sauce is good. I used canned fire roasted tomatoes.

    I recommend draining the pot of all remaining oil after browning bc short ribs are very fatty. It also seemed to need some tomato sauce when I checked it 1 1/2 hours into cooking bc the gravy was watery and brown. I added 4 Tbs. of tomato paste. In 30 more minutes, it was transformed into a deep red, thick gravy. I pureed the gravy just a little, with an immersion blender, as directions said to and actually added a few healthy splashes of extra broth to thin it down a little more. My husband likes a dollop of ricotta on top of any pasta with sauce, so we added that touch, too. The hint of mustard gave it a subtle taste, something unique, so it didn't taste like pot roast, stew, or even Bolognese as one might think. This is easy but time consuming. Great to make a day before you want to serve it, or early in the day.

    This dish is amazing and has become a regular meal in my household. I am a beginner when it comes to cooking and this meal is so simple to make. If I can do it any one can! The smell that fills the air while it's cooking leaves you impatient wanting to eat it sooner! lol DEFINITELY a must make!!
