Simmering ribs add richness to the sauce. When removed from the bone, the meat is meltingly tender. A short tubular pasta, such as ziti, catches sauce inside and out.

Ingredients
Method
Sprinkle short ribs with half each of the salt and pepper. In shallow Dutch oven, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; brown short ribs. Transfer to plate.
Drain fat from pan. Add remaining oil and heat over medium heat; fry onion, carrot, celery, garlic, thyme, bay leaves and remaining salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 6 minutes.
Stir in stock, wine and tomatoes; bring to boil. Return short ribs to pan; reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender, 2 to 2-1/2 hours.
Transfer ribs to plate. Bring sauce to boil; boil until reduced to about 2-1/2 cups (625 mL), about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, remove meat from ribs; dice meat and return to pan. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate, uncovered, in airtight container until cold; cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat to continue.) Stir in parsley; simmer until heated through, about 3 minutes. Discard bay leaves.
Meanwhile in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until tender but firm, about 8 minutes. Drain and return to pot or serving bowl. Spoon sauce over top.
