Wow. I think even *I* could do this!!
Delicious. No recipe is needed. Thanks.
Have a great weekend.

This sounds amazing! DH doesn’t like capers but I think he’s just going to have to deal with it–this sounds like tonight’s dinner to me!
Those little capers are very easy to pick out…
YES PLEASE! NOW! Love it! Feel like I can taste it!
Really, Lea Ann, how easy is that?? Love recipes like this! Now, when winter comes around again, I will be making short ribs and have a lovely leftover dish I can make. Too hot down here now.
We’re still in the 30′s here and still craving soup.
OMG – This is right up my alley. I love short ribs and capers. I must try this soon!!
I love anything and capers. Thanks Stephanie.
Hey – Nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I’m currently using WordPress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
Grass fed beef short ribs in the freezer – check. Homemade marinara sauce from last summer – check. Pasta – check. I’m making this on Sunday when I get back from BlogHer Food!!!
Michele, I got this idea from the restaurant North in Cherry Creek. It was wonderful there and wonderful at my kitchen table.
Great idea LA – meat in marinara – why not short ribs? My mom made sauce with bacon all of the time. Did I say great idea?
Mmmmmmm…bacon sounds wonderful. I have actually made this twice, once with my favorite homemade marinara sauce (which wouldn’t qualify for “no recipe”) and once with jarred. Both really good. I got the idea from an upscale Denver restaurant.
Larry said it all; have never thought of putting short ribs in Marinara…why not I’m wondering? Looks great and with our weather something I would love on one of these cool spring? nights.
I make a recipe kind of like this from Lydia Bastianich that is made with pork countrystyle ribs and we LOVE it! I can only imagine how good this is with short ribs.
I wouldn’t mind hearing about the differences in the recipes…maybe I’ll Google it. I got this idea from restaurant and just crossed my fingers that it came out.
What a great idea! I love meat in pasta sauce and this sounds like such a delicious way to do that. This must smell heavenly while it’s cooking. I’ve never cooked with buccatini and I think it’s high time I changed that.
Mmm, this sounds good on a cool and rainy day here today!
I think you’re sending that cool rainy weather this way Karen. More comfort food in my future.
I have yet to cook these ribs and in a sauce with pasta, they look scrumptious!
Thanks Joumana.
simple perfection!

I have this on my menu for this coming weekend. I am going to make some homemade bucatini pasta to go with it (I love making pasta). Can’t wait!
I thought pasta was a great side dish for this. Mine is angel hair with sauteed vegetables and lemon sauce. mmmmm
