Tips When  Making  Short Rib Fettuccini

First and foremost use good quality Short ribs since the main ingredient in this Short Rib Fettuccini recipe is the short ribs, they should be the best.

Second and just as important be sure the heat is high enough, to sear the meat before adding the wine. And last but not least this recipe takes time to cook, so allow enough time for the three hours it takes to have the meat fork tender.

On a side note, you don’t have to use Fettuccini or pasta. This recipe is delicious on it’s own or over creamy polenta.

You don’t have to use pancetta either, you can use bacon. I had pancetta so that’s what I used. If you make this recipe please leave me comment here, and don’t forget to tag me on Instagram with your creations.

I love hearing from you, it’s my favorite part!!!
