This Braised Short Rib Pasta recipe is a hearty and comforting dish, perfect for a cozy dinner. Tender short ribs are slowly cooked in a rich sauce until they fall apart, creating a flavorful topping for pasta.

Ingredients: 1 lb short ribs. 2 tbsp olive oil. 1 onion, chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 carrot, diced. 1 celery stalk, diced. 1 cup red wine. 2 cups beef broth. 1 can 14 oz diced tomatoes. 2 sprigs fresh thyme. 1 bay leaf. Salt and pepper to taste. 12 oz pasta of your choice. Grated Parmesan cheese for serving. Fresh parsley for garnish.

Instructions: Add salt and pepper to the short ribs. Warm up the olive oil in a big pot over medium-high heat. After browning the short ribs on all sides, take them out of the pot and set them aside. Put the potatoes, carrot, onion, and celery in the same pot. Cook until it gets soft. Add red wine to the pot and scrape up any browned food on the bottom. Put the short ribs back in the pot and then add the beef broth, tomatoes, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a low boil, then cover and cook on low for two to three hours, until the meat is soft. When the short ribs are soft, take them out of the pot and shred them. Throw away any bones or extra fat. In the meantime, cook the pasta until it's al dente according to the directions on the package. Remove the water and set it aside. Put back the shredded meat in the pot with the vegetables and the liquid from braising. If you think it needs it, add more salt and pepper. Cook pasta and put it on top of the braised short rib sauce. Before serving, top with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
