Equipment

Ingredients

2 lbs Pork Back Ribs approx 1 package of ribs, you can also use side ribs
6 cups water to boil ribs
1 clove garlic
4 tbsp olive oil
28 oz tomato puree
1 tsp salt
3 fresh basil leaves
12 oz Fettuccine Pasta or your preferred pasta
¼ cup parmesan cheese served with pasta

Instructions

In a large pot, bring water to boil and place cut ribs into boiling water. Let water continue to boil gently while ribs release fat and excess bone marrow. About 6 minutes or so. Remove ribs and place in a plate, scraping off any marrow. Discard the water.
In another pot, heat up olive oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add tomato pure and bring to a boil. Add ribs one at a time making sure that they are submerged. If the sauce is too thick, add water.
Turn the heat down and let simmer for about 1 hour until ribs are tender and meat falls off easily.
Cook pasta per manufacturer's instructions. Don't forget to salt your pasta. Once al dente use a spaghetti scoop remove pasta and place in a bowl.
Place the sauce over the pasta and mix well. Place the ribs on top or in another bowl. Serve with parmesan cheese (optional).

Notes

Top Tip

Cut the ribs into singles and par boil them in unsalted water for about 10 minutes or until the majority of fat and marrow rise to the surface.
