braised short-rib pappardelle

“The succulent, tender meat from the braised short ribs can be repurposed to enhance your pasta dish for a delectable dinner the next day.

I love making this dish with leftovers from previous braised short-ribs from the day before. It's a perfect way to use leftover meat. You can also make braised short-ribs just for this dish alone and it’s still going to be the best use of your time no matter what.

Making fresh pasta definitely elevates the dish. So if you’re feeling up for the extra effort, I'll provide you with the measurements for making the pappardelle from scratch. For the best results, use chuck or bone-in short-ribs, but any slow-cooked steak will do.
