Salt and pepper
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry red wine
5 fresh thyme sprigs

Instructions
1 Select sauté setting on Instant Pot® and set to high heat. Warm olive oil. Pat short ribs dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper. Brown short ribs in oil, in batches, on both sides. Set aside.
2 Cook and stir shallots in oil for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Add wine, stirring to loosen any browned bits from bottom of pot. Cook and stir for 3 minutes longer.
3 Select cancel setting. Add the reserved short ribs, thyme and red pepper flakes. Pour in marinara sauce.
4 Cover and lock lid; ensure vent is closed per manufacturer’s directions. Select manual setting. Increase pressure to high; set time for 30 minutes.
5 Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain. Keep warm.
6 Select cancel setting. Allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes when cooking is complete. Quick release any remaining pressure, as directed by manufacturer.
7 Skim fat from sauce. Remove and discard thyme sprigs. Insert forks to ensure meat is tender. Transfer beef to a cutting board; shred meat. Return beef to sauce. Gradually stir in gouda until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
