Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

  3. Sauté diced onion, carrots, and celery in the same pot until soft (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Deglaze the pot with red apple vinegar, scraping up brown bits; reduce by half (5-10 minutes).
  5. Add crushed tomatoes and beef broth back into the pot with short ribs.
  6. Toss in bay leaf and thyme; bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Cover and braise in the oven for about 2 hours or until meat is tender.
  8. Shred the meat from the bones after cooling slightly; return shredded meat to the pot.
  9. Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente; drain.
  10. Combine pasta with ragu until well coated, adjusting seasoning if needed.
  11. Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
