Short Rib Ragu over Pappardelle

Not enough sauce. Rather dry as sauce did not distribute well after heating. Ratio of veggies: noodle: meat, meat—heavy, low veggie.

Instructions say to remove arugula before cooking but arugula was placed underneath the tilapia and farro salad which made it difficult to remove.
