Number Of Ingredients 6

2.5 pounds Oxtails
1 piece Onion
2 cups Red Wine
1 cup Chicken stock
1 cup Tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Salt and pepper the oxtails and dredge oxtails in flour. Sear until well-browned on all sides. Remove oxtails.
  • Add onion and cook until lightly browned, a few minutes. Add red wine, scraping up the browned bits, followed by the chicken stock, tomato sauce and fresh thyme. Bring to a boil.
  • Add back the oxtails and their juices to the pot and put into a 375 degree oven for 3 hours.
  • Once oxtails are tender and falling off the bone, remove from sauce and let cool. Strain the sauce or blend all ingredients to achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Once the meat has cooled, pull meat apart from bones and shred into small pieces. Add back into sauce.
  • Cook pasta according to directions. In a saucepan, add meat and sauce to warm. Once pasta is a couple of minutes away from being done, drain and place pasta in saucepan with enough pasta water to maintain desired sauce consistency. Cook sauce and pasta together until well-incorporated and pasta is done. Plate and grate cheese over the top.
