Wonderful Sunday meal. Easy to make, you don't need chopping skills since you place it all in the blender at the end. Very versitile, you are able to add pepper flakes if your cooking for adults, or hold back the wine and add more beef stock if you are cooking for kids.

This was so easy and totally worth the time. The only change I made as per the other reviews I added extra tomato. Other than that I followed exact and it was AMAZING.

Excellent!! The smell filled the whole house while it was cooking and it was so hard to wait until it was done. Heaven in a single dish!

I followed Giadas recipe and my entire family enjoyed this hearty Sunday evening meal. If anyone is complaining about the sauce being watery, just remove the meat and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes (take the lid off the pot then put the sauce in a food processor as Giada recommends. I added a pinch of red pepper to the sauce and it livened it up a bit. The parsley and parmesan also went a long way in bringing the full flavor forward in this dish. At $7.00 per lb. for short ribs this an expensive pasta dish but it is definitely something worth putting the time in for a special family gathering. Thanks Giada and the Food Network

Pretty terrible. The sauce was watery and the meat was tough.

This is an crazy good & utterly amazing, company worthy dish. After browning the ribs & vegetable.s I threw everything in the crock-pot and let it braise for 5 hours. I used my hand blender to smooth out the sauce. I served with mashed potatoes and the kids ate it over cork screw pasta. We omitted the parmesan cheese on both sides. Thanks Giada!

THIS ROCKS!!!!! This is the first time I ever braised anything. I did however add just a little worchestershire and 1/2 green pepper. Could not find short ribs so used country cut ribs and pork not beef. So I guess I really did not follow recipe.

I love beef roasted low and slow. This is so much more rich and elegant than pot roast. My husband and a friend just stared at me the whole time they were eating it. When I asked why they were staring, they both said "we didn't know you could cook!" at the same time. Made me proud! Thanks, Giada.

Great dish but needs more tomato than Giada suggests or you can use a high quality crushed tomoato can if you don't feel like using the food processor for this. Also adding a spoonfool of rigatta cheese on top of each individual plate really adds to the flavor and texture of the dish. This is a real go to dish!
