I used a pound of rigatoni but you can pretty much use any pasta shape. I just like how the rigatoni makes it seem a little more like a pasta casserole than a mac and cheese.

A combination of cheddar cheese and gruyere cheese really complements the flavor of the short ribs.

Recipe Tips

I use leftover short rib meat from this recipe. Along with Spicy Beef Quesadillas, this Short Rib Mac and Cheese is my favorite way to use up leftover short rib meat. It could also be made with leftover brisket.

Make it spicy. Add up to a half a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.

Storage

Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in a microwave.
