Ingredients
- 1/4 pound pancetta, diced
- 3 pounds pork spareribs, denuded, cut into individual ribs
- 2 pounds Italian sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups diced yellow onion
- 1/4 cup diced garlic
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 4 cups whole San Marzano tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound radiatore pasta, cooked al dente
- 1 bunch sliced green onions
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large heavy braising pot, over medium heat cook pancetta until crispy and golden. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Add the spareribs to the pancetta fat and brown well on both sides.
Remove ribs to a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the sausage to the pot and brown both sides. Add the peppers, onion and garlic. Cook until translucent, then deglaze with wine. Simmer for a couple of minutes, then add tomatoes. Bring back to a simmer, and add the cooked pork ribs, parsley, basil, chili flakes and salt and pepper, to taste.
Simmer on low to medium heat, covered, for another 1 1/2 hours.
Serve over pasta, and garnish with pancetta, green onions and Parmesan.

Wow this was good. A total Guy recipe - Big flavor and a little off the wall. My wife came home when I was simmering and asked what I was making. I answered I don't know. We all loved this dish. Will make again. Used hot Italian sausage and about double the red pepper flakes. Went well on a cold day watching football.
