Short Ribs With Tagliatelle And Chocolate Giada De Laurentiis Recipe

How to Make Short Ribs With Tagliatelle And Chocolate Giada De Laurentiis

1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
2. Add 4 ounces pancetta, diced, and cook until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
3. Season 2 pounds bone-in short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Dredge in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
4. Add short ribs to the pot and brown on all sides, about 7 minutes total. Remove short ribs and set aside.
5. While short ribs brown, combine 1 medium onion, 1 medium carrot (both chopped), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 2 cloves garlic in a food processor. Pulse until finely minced.
6. Add 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes and 2 tablespoons tomato paste to the food processor; pulse to combine.
7. Return short ribs to the pot. Add the onion-tomato mixture, and the reserved pancetta.
8. Stir in 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, 1 sprig fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 bay leaf, 4 cups beef broth, and 1/2 cup dry red wine.
9. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
10. Remove the lid and continue to simmer for another 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
11. Remove the short ribs from the pot. Remove meat from the bones, discard bones, and shred the meat.
12. Return the shredded meat to the pot. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste.
13. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound dried tagliatelle and cook according to package directions, about 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water.
14. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
15. Add the cooked pasta to the short rib sauce and stir to combine. Add reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, if needed, to achieve desired consistency.
16. Divide the pasta among serving bowls.
17. Top each serving with 1 teaspoon of shaved dark chocolate.
18. Serve immediately.
