Method

  1. 1

    Boil a large pot of water, add salt, and lower the pappardelle pasta into the vigorously boiling water. Cook until al dente.

  2. 2

    In a separate pot, combine short ribs, tomatoes, and rosemary. Stir the sauce to distribute ingredients evenly.

  3. 3

    Simmer the ragu gently, allowing it to bubble softly while the meat becomes tender and the flavors meld.

  4. 4

    Drain the cooked pappardelle pasta and plate it.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The pasta is al dente before draining. Drain promptly once tender so the ribbons keep their shape.

  5. 5

    Top the pasta with the meat ragu, spreading the sauce evenly over the wide ribbons.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The wide pasta ribbons are evenly coated with ragu.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle shredded cheese over the plated dish.

  7. 7

    Garnish with chopped green herbs.
