Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high and cook short ribs until deeply browned all over, 15–18 minutes; transfer to a bowl.

Meanwhile, finely chop onion, carrots, and celery in a food processor.

Cook vegetables in same pot, stirring often, until soft, 5–7 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Return short ribs to pot and add wine, broth, and 2 teaspoons rosemary. short ribs should be just covered; top off with water if needed. Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to oven. Braise, checking halfway through to make sure short ribs are covered at least two-thirds of the way up, until meat is falling off the bone, 2–2 1/2 hours. Remove short ribs from liquid. When cool enough to handle, shred meat and return to sauce; discard bones.

Meanwhile, toss breadcrumbs with remaining 2 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet, squeezing bread to help it absorb oil. Bake until golden brown, 5–7 minutes; let cool. Stir breadcrumbs, horseradish, and remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary in a medium bowl.

Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente (pasta will still be opaque and very firm in the center). Drain pasta, reserving 1 1/2 cups pasta cooking liquid.

Bring ragu to a simmer over mediumhigh heat. Add pasta and 1 cup pasta cooking liquid and cook, tossing often and adding more cooking liquid to help finish cooking pasta, until pasta is al dente and sauce is thickened and coats pasta, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve pasta topped with horseradish breadcrumbs.

Do ahead: Ragu can be made 4 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
