I always try to make a bit extra when I braise meat so there's some left for sauce. Must go buy short ribs (or lamb shanks). There’s nothing I love more than short rib sugo on homemade pasta.

SallyBR - Yes, I roll the pasta out into sheets, then tap a small amount of flour on them, loosely roll them up and slice into wide ribbons with my chef's knife. Once they're sliced, I again toss with a tiny bit of flour to dry the surface out a bit before I boil them. Tone - Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you liked the burgers :) Steph - I often like to cook so I have "planned" leftovers - if I'm doing a roast or braise, I'll make more of the protein than I need so that I can remix the rest into another meal or two. I bought and cooked the short ribs over the weekend knowing that I wanted short rib ragu during the week, so I bought extra :) Margie – Indeed ;)

Kate – Thanks!

I must try to make something similar. I tried your smoky pork burgers tonight. WHAT A DISH!!! It's in my top 5 list of things I've eaten. And I am a keen home cook who makes absolutely everything from scratch, and who has eaten in a number of Michelin starred restaurants in London and Paris - so it's not like someone who is impressed just because it's better than a Big Mac. THANKS for the recipe! It is going to follow me for the rest of my life. What a gorgeous dish! I must try to make something similar.

I like the way you cut yours in wide ribbons - I guess you do it by hand - do you roll the pasta in a cylinder to do it? Very nice job! I've never tried doing them this way, afraid they would stick and get ruined, so I use the cutter from the pasta attachment in the KA. I think wide ribbons look more sophisticated.

I used my pasta machine (we have an attachment for our Kitchen Aid) to roll out the pasta sheets, but then I hand-cut the pappardelle. Marie - As often as I make risotto, can you believe I haven't done a short rib version? Madness! Camille - Aw, you're too kind! I agree with you, remixing them makes a world of difference! How fun would it be to change people's minds about leftovers? :) Liz - Ah, yes! We have not yet tried the duck eggs, but we've been buying goat from Simmons Farm since late summer and playing with different preparations. We are huge fans - it's got such a nice flavor, and I do want to keep working with it as long as it's available so I can put some good goat recipes up here. nevis – Thanks!
