Categories: Gluten-free (use gluten free pasta), Kids, Dairy-free (eliminate cheese) If you have a slow cooker (and if you don't, then splurge on one for a mere $25) then this dish will take no time at all. I put the ribs on in the morning and let it cook all day. You can serve the ribs one day, reserving 1 or 2 and the sauce for the next day to toss with pappardelle (buy it at the store to save time and keep stress levels low). With about 10 minutes of work, you will have created 2 fabulous meals and feel like a superstar. The ribs on their own could be served with mashed potato or polenta.
