Ingredients

recipe by Giada De Laurentiis

4 pounds short ribs beef
Kosher Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 onion large, diced
3 cloves garlic coarsely chopped
5 tomatoes Roma, cut into eighths
1 cup red wine
3 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
2 cups beef broth low-sodium
1 pound penne pasta
1/4 cup Parmesan freshly grated
1/4 cup Parsley chopped fresh flat-leaf

Instructions

Place an oven rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven.
Preheat the oven to 350.
Season the ribs with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large heavy-bottomed stock pot heat the oil over medium-high heat.
In batches, add the ribs and brown on all sides, for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove the ribs and set aside.
Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes.
Add in tomatoes, wine and mustard.
Bring the entire mixture to a boil and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan.
Return the ribs to the pan, and add the beef broth; cover the pan and place in the oven for 2 1/2 hours until the meat is 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 pan 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 boil over high heat.
Add the pasta and cook until tender, 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.
