1

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).

2

Start by rubbing the pork ribs with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper.

3

In a large skillet, heat over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

4

Add diced carrot and celery to the skillet, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

5

Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly reduced.

6

Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, and oregano to the skillet, stirring well to combine.

7

In a baking dish, place the seasoned pork ribs and pour the sauce mixture over them.

8

Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone.

9

Remove from the oven, let it rest for 5-10 minutes, then serve with your favorite sides.
