Remove beef and let rest about 30 minutes. Shred beef and set aside.
Pasta / Plate:
Slice red onion and peppers. Sautee lightly in oil. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to aboil, cook Sacchetti according to instructions, about 3.5 - 4 minutes. Set aside.
Heat a medium saucepan on the stove, medium heat. Take about 1 cup of the Roja sauce and heat until warm. Toss the Sacchetti in the sauce.
To plate, place peppers and onion. Add the shredded beef and Sacchetti. Top with cotija cheese, cilantro, and lime.
Notes
Instead of the Roja sauce, try fire roasted tomatillo.
In place of cheese Sacchetti, check out our Pappardelle Pasta Nests and turn this into a play on Latin beef short rib Bolognese.
Try with avocado.
