Slow Cooker Short Rib Pasta
Ingredients
- short ribs, fat trimmed off - 4
- olive oil - 3 tablespoons
- minced garlic (about 3 garlic cloves) - 1 tablespoon
- crushed tomatoes - 32 ounce
- salt - 1½ teaspoons
- ground black pepper - ½ teaspoon
- dried basil - 1 teaspoon
- sugar - 2 teaspoon
- pasta - 8 ounces
Instructions
- Trim fat off of short ribs.
- Add olive oil to a large pot and place over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, sear short ribs on both sides until nicely browned. Once browned, turn heat to low and add garlic. Stir for about 1 minute until softened.
- While short ribs are browning add crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar and basil to your slow cooker and stir. Add seared short ribs and garlic to the tomatoes and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Short ribs should be falling apart or literally falling off the bone when done. Remove short ribs and shred into chunks, removing any fat. Because short ribs have quite a bit of marbling (fat running through the meat), the sauce will be oily. Use a spoon to spoon off the fat from the top of the sauce as best you can. You don't have to do this, but I preferred a less oily sauce. Add meat back into the sauce and stir. Cook pasta according to package directions. Add pasta to the sauce and garnish will parmesan cheese.
