Method
Boil a large pot of water, add salt, and lower the pappardelle pasta into the vigorously boiling water. Cook until al dente.
In a separate pot, combine short ribs, tomatoes, and rosemary. Stir the sauce to distribute ingredients evenly.
Simmer the ragu gently, allowing it to bubble softly while the meat becomes tender and the flavors meld.
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.
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.
