Foodie Friday: Short Rib Ragu with Fresh Pappardelle

April 29, 2016 Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

foodie friday logo

Rich and complexly flavoured, a ragu made from slow-cooked short ribs makes an impressive showing for your weekend supper or at an Italian-themed dinner party. Williams-Sonoma brings us a fresh twist on the classic spag bol for this weekโ€™s Foodie Friday.

Make the pasta from scratch if you like, or to save time, purchase fresh pappardelle or another wide noodle from your local Italian deli or gourmet grocer. This recipe calls for three hours of braising to get the meat soft and tender, so be sure to start early!

22 April 2016 - Short Rib Ragu with Fresh Pappardelle

Ingredients

  • 2kg bone-in beef short ribs
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 60g prosciutto, cut into narrow strips
  • 1 large white onion, chopped
  • 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • ยฝ cup dry red wine
  • 3ยฝ cups beef broth, or as needed
  • 500g fresh pappardelle
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
  • Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley for serving

Method

Trim the short ribs of excess fat. Thoroughly pat the meat dry with paper towels.

In a large Dutch oven, warm 1 tbsp of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the prosciutto and sautรฉ until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the prosciutto to a large platter.

Working in batches, add the short ribs to the pot and brown on all sides, about 12 minutes per batch. Transfer the beef and its juices to the platter.

Add the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil to the pot and stir in the onion, carrot, garlic, bay leaves, cinnamon stick and cumin. Saute until the vegetables are softened, lightly coloured and aromatic, about 10 minutes. Return the short ribs and prosciutto to the pot, add 1 tsp salt and several grinds of pepper and stir well. Stir in the tomato paste, wine and enough broth to just cover the meat. Cover the pot partially with a lid, reduce the heat to low and braise, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender, about 3 hours.

Bring another large pot two-thirds full of water to a boil over high heat.

Take the pot with the short ribs off the heat, and remove and discard the bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Carefully pour the contents of the pot through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Transfer the short ribs to a cutting board. Using your fingers or 2 forks, shred the meat into bite-size pieces. Return the meat to the pot. Let the sauce stand for a few minutes. Using a large spoon, skim the fat off the surface. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the meat in the pot and rewarm over medium-low heat.

Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the pasta and transfer to a large serving bowl. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the short rib mixture on top of the pasta. Using a spoon, add enough of the braising liquid to lightly coat the pasta and toss to combine. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and parsley and serve immediately. Serves 6.

One half of popular parenting podcast @wedonthavet One half of popular parenting podcast @wedonthavetimeforthis, turns out former Neighbours actor @gemma_peanut is even more multi-talented than we thought! Will you check out the joyful and colourful reno of her holiday home (and airbnb) @yo_caba_caba?!

Head over to the blog via link in bio to read all about why she went bold and full of pattern in this project, which is a stark contrast to her zen and neutral Northern Beaches abode.

There's also plenty of details about where things are from etc.

"Iโ€™m not an interior designer so I just chose what I liked and followed my gut. Ultimately this home has been an opportunity to explore my alter ego โ€“ it allowed me to do things that I wouldnโ€™t normally do.โ€

Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial family category and they're a special gift. So ends three weeks with @danisteve81 who left her husband and son in the UK (I'm forever grateful they lent her to me!) to come and cheer me up and help me in the most practical ways after I spent Christmas and New Year in hospital. There were tears and I miss her so much already but how amazing to have had all that time together as adults. Such a rare treat and would never have happened without having been through something so challenging. Silver linings and all that. So many other friends have also been incredibly thoughtful and kind. There aren't many times I'd say this without cringing but I am 100% blessed!

I still cannot believe we have been friends since we were 12! 12! Are you still close with your childhood besties?
The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_ho The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_house is a work of art and while almost every surface was updated, the decision to keep the original slate floor was genius if you ask us. 

Owner @clarehillier__ says: "With its purple, pink, red and brown tones, the slate was the starting point for our interior palette."

Come and check out the before and afters via link in bio now and read the reno story. It's a real beauty.

And you can book it for your next holiday too!

Hello friends! Just thought I'd say hi. Two weeks Hello friends! Just thought I'd say hi. Two weeks since leaving hospital and I'm doing much better than I expected to be at this early stage. A long recovery road ahead but making progress in how much I can move my arm and although I drag myself through some days non-stop yawning, others I can go for a little walk or out for lunch before collapsing on the couch! I can now tie my own hair back and put on a real bra which is very exciting ๐Ÿคฃ Having my bestie here to help us with the boys, drive me places and just be brilliant positive company is the best thing I could have asked for not to mention the many Dinner Ladies vouchers from friends!

I definitely feel like a statistic now but hoping I definitely feel like a statistic now but hoping to raise some awareness off the back of my misfortune (and also very lucky escape).

@newsouthwaleshealth have just put out this warning about a rise in serious bacterial infections. iGAS (invasive group A streptococcus) is what caused my necrotising fasciitis and sepsis.

Apparently there's similar happening in VIC too.

It's extremely rare but very serious nonetheless so please have a read and be aware of symptoms. I've linked to the article from a button via my link in bio.

A cheaper alternative to natural stone, the latest printed porcelain tile technology makes it difficult to distinguish from the real thing.
