    Can you even BELIEVE Christmas is in just a few days?! Jake and I will be hosting Christmas Eve dinner and other days this week so I love having a bunch of quick (but crowd pleasing) recipes on hand!

    Like this Instant Pot Ragu! You know me. I am all about the Italian food from my Italian grandmother's influence growing up. And all of those old slow simmering sauce I have been turning into Instant Pot re-creations!

    This is the one I love and use everyday-click here!

    I used The Honest Bison's Short Ribs in this ragu and it came out PERFECT. So tender-literally fall off the bone! And all done in 30 minutes in the Instant Pot!

    I served this over my favorite Paparadelle pasta- but choose your favorite! I recommend sticking to a long grain pasta for the sauce and short ribs to cling to in every bite!

    Your family is going to love this new version of "spaghetti night!"
