A Slow Simmered Italian Style Red Sauce This Sunday red sauce with short ribs creates a rich, hearty, and deeply comforting meal that tastes like it simmered all day in a family kitchen. The beef short ribs slowly break down in the tomato sauce and release flavor that transforms the entire pot. Because the sauce cooks low and slow, it develops a deep color and a silky texture. This recipe works well for weekends, holidays, or any day when you want a warm and satisfying pasta dinner. The aroma fills the house and makes the meal feel special.
