I prepped the meat/veggie/wine part of this last night and I'm going to put it in my slow cooker over lunch. I hope it turns out well!
This came out really well! I didn't use short ribs, I used the cubed chuck "stew meat" you can buy at the grocery store; it just made life a lot easier. I also added a package of cherry tomatoes which I think made it better because of the burst of sweetness in some bites. I didn't have any parsley (would you believe the grocery store was out?), but I would definitely top each bowl with a little bit, finely chopped. I used about 4 lbs of chuck and it went well over 2lbs of fettuccine. Lunches for the next week!
haha, you sound like me...6lbs of food for two people. i always tell austin that we have to have like 4 kids so that all my food gets eaten up. i don't know why, i just can't cook things in small batches. haha
As long as the leftovers are good - I say make a huge batch!
