Ingredients
- 1/4 pound pancetta, diced
- 3 pounds pork spareribs, denuded, cut into individual ribs
- 2 pounds Italian sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups diced yellow onion
- 1/4 cup diced garlic
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 4 cups whole San Marzano tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound radiatore pasta, cooked al dente
- 1 bunch sliced green onions
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large heavy braising pot, over medium heat cook pancetta until crispy and golden. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Add the spareribs to the pancetta fat and brown well on both sides.
- Remove ribs to a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the sausage to the pot and brown both sides. Add the peppers, onion and garlic. Cook until translucent, then deglaze with wine. Simmer for a couple of minutes, then add tomatoes. Bring back to a simmer, and add the cooked pork ribs, parsley, basil, chili flakes and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Simmer on low to medium heat, covered, for another 1 1/2 hours.
- Serve over pasta, and garnish with pancetta, green onions and Parmesan.

Entire family loves this recipe. It is a lot of work and slashes grease but worth it
Third time am cooking this recipe absolutely sumptuous my family loves it. Side dish bruschetta ohhh la la thank you
We tried this last night. It was very flavorful. Don’t change anything! I was tempted to make adjustments but did not for the first time making the recipe. I’m so glad I refrained bc it was perfect!
Very flavorful and tasty! But I can’t figure out why it takes 7 hours??? Even with the ribs in the oven for 1 1/2 hours and then another 1 1/2 hours to simmer everything, that’s 3 hours. If you add an hour for prep work and browning, that’s only 4 hours. What am I missing??
Delicious!! Wonderful sauce! My husband, dinner guests and I loved it!
Horrid. A complete waste of groceries.
Wow this was good. A total Guy recipe – Big flavor and a little off the wall. My wife came home when I was simmering and asked what I was making. I answered I don’t know. We all loved this dish. Will make again. Used hot Italian sausage and about double the red pepper flakes. Went well on a cold day watching football.
I literally shed a few tears after the first bite. Staggeringly delicious.
Absolutely worth the time…a new family favorite.
This is among the best things I ever ate and i am a very picky eater. Thanks Guy!
