Method

For the Short Rib Bolognese

  1. 1

    Sear the Short Ribs

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Let the wine reduce for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Add the beef broth, crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, and the seared short ribs back into the pot. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Slow Cook

    Cover and let simmer on low for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender and falling off the bone. Remove short ribs, shred meat, and return to the sauce. Stir in fresh basil.

For the Housemade Pasta

  1. 6

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add eggs. Mix until a dough forms.

  2. 7

    Knead and Rest

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

  3. 8

    Roll and Cut Pasta

    Roll out the dough with a pasta machine or rolling pin to desired thickness. Cut into your preferred shape for pasta.

  4. 9

    Cook Pasta

    In salted boiling water, cook the pasta for about 3-4 minutes or until al dente. Drain and toss with the bolognese sauce.
