“ I made this last nite & my boyfriend would not stop talking about it..I could not find short ribs so i used beef back ribs.less fat and inexpensive.(1.99 lb) I also used bacon just a few slices. cut off fat of ribs which was not much. browned with no flour. I followed the recipe to the “T”. I used 2 cans of diced tomatoes store brand. I am on a budget. I used a large skillet all oven proof with a lid, I don’t have a dutch oven and set at 350 for 2 hrs. turned oven off let ribs just sit in oven cause it is still cooking and started my pasta, I used bow tie all i had. removed from oven took out ribs which were falling off the bone. used cornstarch and h2o to thicken with veggies and tomatoes until thick enough. took meat off the bone and put sauce over my pasta and meat. Oh MY how delicous. Froze the rest of the sauce and will make with ribs again without having to do any work. Great job Giada!! And you are beautiful your smile is to die for.

Many recipe reviews make me very angry.
Can someone PLEASE tell me how she possibly followed this recipe to “the ‘T’” if she changed the pancetta to bacon, short ribs to back ribs, flour to no flour, 1 can of tomatoes to 2 cans, and using a dutch oven and stovetop cooking to a large skillet and oven cooking?
