Spuntature al Sugo

== Description ==
Italian spareribs in sauce. The tomato sauce created while the ribs cook is great with pasta as a first course. Following that, the ribs make a delicious second course with steamed green beans or broccoli. However, it is more traditional to serve the ribs with their rich red sauce as a one-dish meal with polenta.
