The Basil Pesto Pasta Salad introduces a burst of freshness with its vibrant green pesto, which combines the aromatic flavors of basil, garlic, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese. Tossed with tender pasta, cherry tomatoes, and a hint of lemon zest, this salad offers a delightful contrast to the hearty main course.
Lastly, our Caesar Salad adds a touch of classic elegance to the meal. Crisp romaine lettuce is tossed in a creamy Caesar dressing, made with anchovies, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Topped with crunchy croutons and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, this salad delivers a satisfying blend of flavors and textures.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with 2 layers of foil.
- If your ribs are in a rack, cut them into separate ribs. Drain the sundried tomatoes, reserving the oil. Toss the ribs with the reserved oil, whole garlic cloves, rosemary, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper. Place the ribs on the prepared baking sheet and cover the baking sheet with foil. Bake until very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Meanwhile, finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, minced garlic, shallot and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the sugar, vinegar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer about half of the mixture to a mini chop or food processor and pulse until smooth; return the puree to the saucepan with the rest of the tomato glaze.
- When the ribs are tender, remove from the oven and increase the temperature to 500 degrees F. Uncover the ribs and remove the rosemary. Mash the roasted garlic cloves into the tomato glaze, discarding anything too tough to mash. Spoon half of the tomato glaze over the ribs. Bake until charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Turn the ribs over and add the rest of the tomato glaze. Bake until charred in spots, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the ribs to a platter and spoon any tomato glaze from the pan over top.
PORK RAGOUT WITH PAPPARDELLE PASTA
The secret ingredient in this recipe is time (although there's thyme too). Letting the pork slowly braise in the tomato sauce builds a deep and rich flavor. We loved this served over pappardelle but it's great with cavatelli too. Make it for four or serve just two for a special dinner and you'll have some much appreciated leftovers.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, salt both sides of each rib, then add to the pot and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic, carrot, celery, onion, bell pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stir to combine and then partially cover with a lid. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, about 6 minutes. Add the wine, bay leaves, thyme, crushed red pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer until most of the wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Nestle in the browned ribs (and any accumulated juices), then add the crushed tomatoes and 1 1/2 cups of water (it's nice to rinse the tomato can out with water and then use 1 1/2 cups of that "tomato water"). Bring to a high simmer, then adjust to a low simmer and cover the pot partially with the lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and falling apart and the sauce has reduced, about 2 hours. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the pot and add back into the sauce. Remove the pieces of pork and let them cool slightly; finely shred the meat, then stir back into the sauce. The sauce can now be finished and served or it can be cooled down, refrigerated and reheated the next day.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook according to the package instructions, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking water.
- Stir the parsley into the sauce and adjust the seasoning to taste with salt. Thin out with a little of the reserved pasta water and stir in the torn basil. Divide the cooked pasta among bowls and top each with some ragout. Drizzle each bowl with a little olive oil, top with a generous amount of Parmesan and garnish with a few basil leaves.

Steps:
- Trim some fat off the ribs and cut them in half. Most of mine didn't have a hard bone. You can ask your butcher to do this or look for boneless ribs. Rub the ribs with some sea salt.
- Peel and finely chop the onion. Wash and finely chop the celery and carrots. Wash the cherry tomatoes. If using, chop the chili pepper into small pieces. Remove most the seeds so it's less spicy!
- Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a deep pan and brown the ribs. Remove and set aside. You may need to do this in batches.
- Add the finely chopped onion, carrot and celery to the pan and cook for a few minutes. Don't let them burn. Add more olive oil if necessary.
- Add the bay leaf, chili pepper and cherry tomatoes mix together and cook for a minute. Then add the browned pork ribs. Pour in the wine and turn up the heat so the alcohol evaporates.
- Now pour in the tomato passata/chopped peeled tomatoes and add salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and reduce the heat.
- Cook the sauce covered over a lowish heat for about 2 hours or until the meat is very tender and easy to remove from the bone. Exact cooking time depends on the size of your ribs. Check them after 90 minutes. Add some water or stock if the sauce reduces too much. Remove the lid for the last 30 minutes is the sauce is too liquidy.
- Put a pot of water onto boil for the pasta. Add salt once it starts to boil and bring to the boil again. Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet.
- When the braised ribs are ready remove them from the sauce. Strip the meat from 3-4 and put back into the sauce. Keep the rest of the ribs with some sauce for another meal or course. You can serve them with potatoes or polenta.
- Alternatively you can strip the meat from all the ribs and eat with the pasta or serve the pasta and sauce with whole ribs!
- When the pasta is ready drain and add to the sauce. Mix together well and serve immediately. If you like, you can add chopped parsley or grated Parmigiano before serving!

A FAREWELL TO BASIL FETTUCCINE
I made this while watching 'A Farewell to Arms' on TV and realized the title suited the intent of the pasta, which was to celebrate the last gleanings from my rather prolific basil patch. If you feel the need to serve this with a sauce, consider a butter garlic sauce or a white wine sauce with chicken. Whatever you choose to accompany this with, enjoy it!

Boy do we love ribs!! This recipe is one of my favorites. Tons of flavor and sure to please everyone! Note: St. Louis-style ribs, cut from the spare rib and trimmed so there is less waste, are particularly meaty and succulent. The racks are pretty large, so you'll need a big roasting pan for this recipe.
