Pasta with Short Ribs and Ricotta

Pasta with short ribs and ricotta is a delightful dish that comes with big flavor and little effort. The ricotta can be optional but the creaminess it adds to this dish makes it worth it!

Pasta with short ribs and ricotta is a creamy and delicious dish.

I’ve had this recipe on hand and ready to post for a while now. It’s one of my favorite things that my husband makes! Rumor has it that it’s snowing out there in some places? It’s MAY! Lucky you, because pasta with short ribs and ricotta is the perfect dish to cozy up to.

Pasta is a staple in my house, so I have a lot of pasta recipes on the site. Another favorite of mine is pasta with sausage and rapini.

My husband and I decided the time was right to clear out the freezer (I did my share by getting rid of the ice cream). Out came the short ribs, and we decided to use it in something special.

Try Pasta with short ribs and ricotta for one of your next meals.

Did I mention that this recipe is easy to make? Don’t worry if you don’t have ricotta on hand. The pasta turns out tasty without it, but I like it best when it’s added in. It brings soft and subtle creaminess to the dish.

Isn’t this weekend a good time to make pasta with short ribs and ricotta? I say yes!

I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
