"Two medium carrots"
Pulls out the longest carrots i've ever seen
And also soo thin, looks like a malnourished carrot ahaha.
@@BombaJead They're just basketball carrots
*That's what she said*
I was gonna say that exact thing but i saw your comment lmfao
YEAH
I like the fact that he doesn't try and hide his mistakes.
Why do we fall Sachi ?
that shows how good he is he's not afraid to mess up
Babish has never made a mistake in the kitchen. It's all scripted for comedy and so that when the audience makes mistakes at home we don't feel alone in our failure
If he hide his mistakes, then the group of elite italian chef will destroy him with grandma styled harsh italian critics
+
Using the word "traditional" when making a video about italian food.
I salute your bravery, Sir, and I will speak at your funeral, following this video.
He usually nail every italian recipe (and that’s very unusual, I love him), but unfortunately he fell on this one, my grandma would die seeing this
@@dilettamoscatelli9946 watch all the way to the end. He intended to make this recipe untraditional.
@@dilettamoscatelli9946 Yes. However will the world cope with such an atrocity...
@@dilettamoscatelli9946 exept for that time he made a very illegal carbonara.
@@dilettamoscatelli9946 What should he have done? You have me curious
My grandmother's advice for making stock: It should smile and giggle, but never laugh. (I.e., keep it simmering, never at a boil.)
Too wholesome
Truth! Served by grandma. Respect.
That's the coolest advice !
Instant Pots do a great job at this, you can even safely have the stock going overnight.
Nobody wants their dish to be a laughing stock either...
Can you do a Basics episode about kitchen maintenance? How do you properly clean your wooden cutting boards/butcher blocks, what’s truly dishwasher safe, proper cast iron cleaning, and other fun things like that.
i think the 2 episode of basics is about kitchen maintenance, or at least pan maintenance
There's already a video done on this. Search for it.
It's literally the first episodes of Basic With Babish
He already has one
@blv bruh shut up stop spamming
I kid you not, he pulls out two comically long carrots.
Glad I’m not the only one to notice that.
Its what we call normal organic carrots. That didn't go through a pick and choose process to find the most perfect one to be sold
@@otogigamer yeah I’m not buying that.
Underrated comment
Funniest shit I've ever seen.
Babish: Honey, I'm cooking dinner tonight.
18 hours later...
Babish: It's ready!
My wife says the same thing about me. Some times goodthings just take time
The legal minimum for ragù is six hours, but 18 is a little long even for Italians. I think the average is somewhere around 10-12 hours
Honey it's 6 am
"basic"
*takes 24 hours to make chicken stock*
@Khabib Nurmagomedov i think you'v ment "smash"
I firmely belive that this show is kind of like bob ross’s painting classes but with cooking. There are no mistakes just happy accidents and all of us learning together
Babish needs a new writer. But he's a nice guy.
This is such a wholesome comment 😊❤
"learning together" which is confirmed when Andrew forgot to put in the pancetta and asks himself "who's idea was it to give me a cooking show?" LOL 😆
"Babish is the Bob Ross of cooking"
Well you're not wrong.
@@Epicmonk117 I've been wondering a lot recently about why all of Andrew's content has been so appealing to me. Thank you for finally crystallizing it.
You must place proper emphasis when adding: The Bay Leaf
A master of culinary slav school of Boris, I see.
The baaay lyeef
The *bæ* leaf.
Slav incoming
Boris must approve this
Babish: today I'm making bolognese sauce
Italian chefs on youtube: so you have chosen death
More like "how many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man!?"
Well, I watched Vincenco's version of a Bolognese and he got it completely wrong, Italian or not. This is way more "correct" (if that is something someone happens to care about).
@Nafiul Islam bad day?
Apparently Babish also enjoys living dangerously
i think he was doing fine until he added the heavy cream
babby: today we're making bolognese pasta
also babby: so we're starting off with roasting 20 chicken wings
top comment imho
As one does!
In these times not 20 chicken wings. 25$ Worth of chicken wings.
20 chicken wings, yes, 20
No meat on wings anyway, they should be free. Except for the 10 chickens running around without wings
What I’ve learned from the comments on Babish videos is that it’s apparently impossible to make Italian food without someone getting mad at you.
Fact
They are just jealous that their food could be made better at other places.
@@kidesohjo9637 lol you never been to italy
@@marcelrizzo9558 Indeed, I've never been to Italy cause I'm poor :3
Same with us Mexicans or any latin cultures. We’re so passionate about our cuisine that we nitpick anyone who dares to make authentic dishes outside the mother country.
*basics* "okay so we're gonna start by raising our own cattle"
That make me such a great belly laugh. Sweet lord, thankyou
Chef Frank collab?
@@JohnR8589 You mean the guy who explicitly said he doesn't do that? You're hilarious.
that's binging, not basics
@@seymourglass26 I actually didn't know he'd said that. That's a shame.
Weird comment. But couple months back when I was super depressed. I didn’t have the will power to muster up and do anything with myself, I wasn’t eating, working out, barely going to work, not sleeping, isolation. It was horrible. But I always always always looked forward to watching your videos. Your voice is very soothing and comforting, and I learned a lot in those few months of depression. I’ve been back on my feet for a good two months now. Eating more healthy cooked meals (thanks to you), Getting fit, making new friends, getting work done, keeping up around the house. And I’m just grateful I had a reason to keep my eyes open during my gloomy days. I swear I watched every video, anyways you helped me in a way I never thought a cooking channel could. Life knocked the breath out of my chest, but I’m up and ready to take whatever hit comes next 💪🏽 Thank you for your videos!
Your comment happened to pop up in my YT studio feed - the channel gets several comments every second, so I’m lucky I saw it, because it really energized me to wake up and get to work today. I’m so grateful that my show has helped in any capacity, and so grateful that you’ve shared your experience with me. I’ve struggled with depression my whole life, and while it might never go away, positive steps like the ones you’ve taken can loosen its grip. Keep cooking - I will if you will! Right now even, I’m headed downstairs to finally finish up next week’s episode, in no small part thanks to you!
I'm glad you are doing better, know you are not going through this fight alone many of us are silently fighting with you! This channel has also helped me through some rough times and still is. Thanks for posting this made me feel a bit better.
Love this so much and can totally relate. Babish's recipe book intro brought tears to my eyes when he talked about how he also struggled with depression, but as he so graciously proved in the response to your comment, has become a better person by pushing through the hard times. He exudes humility and is a very talented culinary artist, inspiring so many to be the best they can be. To me, that is fucking heroic.
And whoever you are, I'm so glad you're doing better. You're worth it and don't ever think otherwise. Something we all need to learn.
@@babishculinaryuniverse wholesome much?
@@babishculinaryuniverse This and her comment made me cry
I really appreciate the small mistakes being left in. It shows that there is room for a little error while cooking, and if you can react quickly and smartly enough, everything will come out just fine.
“Medium” carrots... proceeds to pull out two foot long carrots
its a weird flex but it checks out
To be fair, they were wicked skinny carrots.
“I’m looking forward to the panel of four Italian experts telling me exactly why I’m wrong.”
Looks like Babish still isn’t over the Carbonara incident...
And good for him. I enjoy this war.
He's not wrong tho, look at the comments hahah
@@OrbisAetherum The problem wasn’t that Babish deviated from the norm and made a bad carbonara. The problem was that the Italian cooks and chefs were inappropriately judging him on his authenticity when he was trying to recreate a dish from a TV show and not pass his carbonara off as authentic.
well, in the "every-day" version of the Bolognese (that it's actually called Ragù) there's no chicken stock, it's simply done with wine
I think that Italia Squisita (the channel that does Italian chefs react to X) decided that annoying Babish into making Italian dishes the proper way was the best way to spread the Italian cooking art around the world. Since the Carbonara incident they made 4 more videos featuring Babish, including two in the last two weeks alone.
Might also have something to do with the fact that they choose 3-4 "most popular videos in the world"...
"Two medium carrots"
Proceeds to pull out the longest carrots in the world.
But they're quite thin. So you can call them medium
@@tommylanger7686 it was really just a joke...
Girth is more important than length...

MASSIVE UNITS
Babish killed me with that phrase, "let the white wine evaporate and the sauce starts smelling like God's morning breath". 🤣 💀
I bet he has writers working for him now.;)
I am Italian and to this day I don’t understand what is Bolognese. I originally thought it was American Ragù but this video left me more confused then my sexuality in my teen years
I thought it was French.
bolognese just means something from Bolo. tagliatelle ragu
@@hunip098 something from Bologna
"Cut without the folds overlapping so we don't get kinky pasta"
"I like feet"
"As you can see we went a little far with this one"
Who doesn’t like a good foot
a lot more people like feet than you’d think (apparently it’s because the part of the brain that recognizes genitals also recognizes feet.)
@@femmefuntime Basically everyone with a foot fetish then
@Eye hate Nick gurrs Weren't you reading? They said *you're* the weird one!
@Eye hate Nick gurrs nice name
As an Italian, I thought it would have been waaay more different from the traditional recipe. And I'm sure it tastes amazing. Good job
How is it different from your traditional recipe? I'm always eager to learn more bolognese magic
Ooh please share! How far did babish stray from the traditional way of Bolognese?
@@asalways1504 he added stock and cream,
@@asalways1504 the thing is that even here in Italy we have a lot of different versions of the recipe. Most people don't put stock or milk in it, but i personally do because i think it makes it better. I never seen anybody put cream in it, but if you like It then you should definetly do it
I'm Italian too and I can confirm this doesn't stray away too much from the original.
Like Babish said, we don't traditionally use lamb meat, but instead a mixture of beef and pork (where I'm from we don't put pancetta, but I just checked and the traditional recipe from Bologna calls for it). We use far less cream and/or milk and we definitely do use tomato sauce together with tomato paste. I have no idea where he got the information that Ragù (that's the actual name - in Italy we don't really call it Bolognese) was not a tomato based condiment, because it definitely is.
All of this being said, I'm not mad at the recipe and I'm sure it does taste amazing
All these Italians claiming to know the authentic recipe, but all of their recipes are different from each other 🤣
That's how you know it's actual italians making those posts.
i heard italians dont like alot of sauce on their pasta... well idk about you guys but i would rather risk over saucing my pasta rather than under saucing
where did you hear that?
@@ekaterinadeboni9864 im not sure, i think it was the BBC show QI
My chef friend has always told me that pasta is the main point of interest in Italian pasta dishes; not the sauce. So I think you’re right! (At least to my understanding)
@@danielvokes2169 nothing is worse than undersauced pasta
Aye!
I clearly have a massive misunderstanding of the word "basics".
Look in the mirror, "basic". You're welcome.
To be fair, we are 80+ episodes in, start from the beginnings to get true basics
Dont be afraid. You can do it
“We’re gonna start with the basic bolognese by making your own chicken stock!”
It's the "basics" of learning how to cook. It's recipes that are "basic" or standard to anyone that is very comfortable in the kitchen. It's techniques that are applicable in much more complicated recipes. Etc.
"2 medium carrots"
of course i'd get 2 medium carrots from the alice's wonderland
Medium long carrots it looks like
I was gonna like this comment but you're on 666 likes and that's just as cursed as those carrots were
Yeah, when I think "medium carrots" what Babish has is not what I see in my mind's eye lol
Here's one tip that made my bolognese incredible: grate your vegetables (onion, carrot, celery). You get an awesome texture and the vegetables cook evenly
I've been using the food processor. This seems easier
Been wanting to make this for months and finally got around to it today. It's an absolute knockout of a dish!! Thanks for the recipie!
I'm gonna go ahead and approve this one's authenticity, Andrew. Cheers

I'm from northern Italy and, maybe unfortunately, who knows, not a part of a panel of experts, but in my humble opinion you did a very good job my friend. You're right: this is a proper bolognese, no more no less.

Ma la panna ragazzi?
@@MandyJonas97 sì esatto in verità é solo quello, per il resto il ragù puoi farlo come vuoi, ma la panna da cucina demmerda no hahahaha
Bolognese was, and still is, one of my favourite meals. When I was growing up my Mom would often make it for me and it always made me happy. Her recipe is a bit different to this one but I'm curious to try this version. Might be a fun thing for me and my Mom to make together once lockdown is over and I can go visit her again. Would be interesting to see whether we prefer this recipe or her's.
Love your descriptive cooking instructions.
at 1:38, and I can't believe I've said this sentence twice today in various contexts, but that is the longest, floppiest carrot I've seen in my life.

I like my pasta a little twisted 🍝👀💕
Spaghetti & Meatballs stuff, eh? I know what you mean.
Somebody, once told me: the world's gonna roll me. I ain't the... Sharpest tool in the shed?
I just want to say that you are a huge inspiration to me. I'm a child, just a lil minor and you've inspired me for months to begin cooking and baking, I've began making pasta my own way too! I also love making the buttered noodles you made that one episode, but I can't do too much cause my grandma and mom don't want me making a mess or using too much money at the store. But you inspire me so much, you make me want to cook constantly.
Made this over the weekend . my goodness it turned out perfect! Thank you so very much keep it up!!
I feel like this who video is a “come at me bro” to Italian cuisine purists and quite literally a challenge to Italian chefs to prove him wrong just so he can learn how to improve his Italian cooking game.
Yeah because some months ago 3 italian chefs(I'm italian) made a video where they comment non italian chefs making risotto, one of this chefs was Andrew and they criticized him very badly, so i think is for this reason.
@@laust4002 They've criticized several of his recipes. The channel is Italia Squisita.
He is wrong. On the Italia Squisita channel even is genuine Bolognese ragu recipe (hint, theres no milk or lamb, and there are also crushed tomatoes). And Food Busker did a whole series on the little intricacies of Bolognese ragu.
@@jankubat2694 I don’t disagree that he’s not doing a traditional recipe, what I meant was he seems like the kind of guy who would welcome criticism in order to improve his skills. And something like this would grab the attention of professionals who would freely criticize him.
@@jankubat2694 Lamb is absolutely unconventional, but there is milk in traditional ragu. His recipe is (appart from the lamb and heavy cream) rather authentic as far as I can judge.
If the panel of Italian chefs don’t go to Babish, Babish must go to tha panel ❤️ we’ve just dropped the LAST episode of the reaction series, but we may change our plan...
Wowwwww. This is hilariously awesome 👏 👏👏👏😂

@@SakkakuTamashi nel ragù bolognese tradizionale il latte è previsto
No no, Italia Squisita, never stop the reaction series
I've been making bolognese for years in a variety of ways, but have never made it without crushed tomatoes. Curious to try this one out and see how it is.
Who else besides me is wishing they had their own personal Babish? This man is fantastic! So much love & attention to detail when he makes his dishes. I love watching him work 😍
Well, there might be 4 Italians that are trying to tell you you did everything wrong, but this one is telling you you made me hungry.
"A panel of four Italian experts to tell me I'm wrong." I'm sure Italia Squisita is already drafting a script lol
They did actually end up commenting!!
Their comment is right below yours for me 😂😂😂😂
Love the music you used in the background of this vid. Very relaxing, and the food looks amazing
I don't know why, but I spent a 5 solid minutes laughing about how long and curved those carrots are?

Me: *No amount of parmesan cheese is unreasonable*
The amount of cheese he put on was definitely unreasonable... it should have been like 10x as much
The only unreasonable amount is none.
I just commented this only to scroll down
I really do hope the amount of effort to make this pasta look taste and be amazing is seen its incredible
This recipe is brilliant. Everyone’s Bolognese is different but this one is completely insane never seen a recipe like this for bolognese I may actually try this one very inspiring!

@@ascaro1885 lol
@@ascaro1885 beh considera che il ragù cuoce sommerso nell'acqua, l'utilizzo del brodo secondo me non è così fuori dalla realtà.
@@lutentemedio non so quanto possa essere buono, insomma un brodo vegetale può quasi starci ma un brodo di carne..specialmente se pollo..non saprei. Però alla panna lì o quel che è ha floppato
@@ascaro1885 Di nuovo, nella ricetta depositata alla camera di commercio è prevista la panna e ora che verifico è previsto anche il brodo. In molti alleggeriscono con il latte o utilizzano l'acqua. Ma come dicevo questa ricetta non è completamente fuori dalla realtà come la panna sulla carbonara. Se si vuole trovare l'errore è che la panna è utilizzata nella ricetta per condire la pasta secca e non quella fresca all'uovo.
I will definitely be using your recipe! Looks amazing
Babish, I made this yesterday (storebought stock, left out the panchetta and used red wine instead of white). but other than that... homemade pasta and all. It may very well have bern the best bolognese Ive evee eaten. Fantastic recipe!!!! definetely will do that again.
There he goes with his “sauteépin” again.
When I started watching his channel, I thought that's how he legitimately just said it, but this fool knows what he's doing smdh
I don't even hear the "i" - it's "sautepn" to me.
"Bolognaise is a wine and stock affair"

“An unreasonable amount of freshly grated Parmesan cheese” is my middle name
good thing he didn't specify on what part of the scale that amount was: unreasonably little.

"Parmesan makes everything better"
-Gennaro Contaldo
It must be a pain to write your initials. Do you go by MAN or MAUAOFGPCN?
I kinda wanna see an episode that's just the BCU crew all having dinner together. Hell, I'd just love to see Andrew and Sohla make dinner for their other-halves and have a double date.
I never knew I wanted something so much until I read your comment!
If you like that concept, you'd love the "Date Night" series by Internet Shaquille here on yt
Why? To watch sohla pretend to be a victim?
Made this for dinner my partner and I were delighted, and yes it is everything you said and more. I can see making this at least every two or three months as a special treat.
Awesome recipe, some changes I did, but it came out perfect. First of all, red wine, goes better with rich meaty, tomato (not much just a bit paste) sauce...
Second: beef stock (I threw in some cubes of home made demi glace)
And third, root celery, not the stems.
Yeah, to criticize someone is all right, but you have point out as well the important stuff...
First of all, the video in general is just awesome, aaaand, I never thought of using parmesan rims for cooking, and it's so much more convenient to put it in the oven then have it on the stove....
So basically, YOU inspired me to do the sauce, and now that I've made more than enough, I go for the lasagne
"so we don't end up with kinky pasta"
Don't tell me how to live my life.
nah
Kinky pasta? Not with that attitude
@@Noam-Bahar Kink shaming IS my kink
I’m Italian, I live in Ozzano Emilia (Bo) and I am here to say that this looks good. I am ready to argue against the panel 😂
Do Italians call it sofrito? I thought that was Spanish. An Italian lady named Lidia Matticchio Bastianich (who has her own cooking show) calls it pestata. She is from what is now Istria, Croatia.
@@marcpeterson5115 Yes, we call it "soffritto". It's the past participle of "soffriggere", "sautée" in french , that means to fry with a small quantity of oil. It may vary from region to region, as usual.
@@FrancescoCarpistoni Thanks. I thought "pestata" might be regional.
@@marcpeterson5115 Yes. Despite being different ethnicities and cultures, Spanish and Italian language share a fair bit of similarities due to our Latin roots

This is honestly one I've been looking forward to for a long time! I can't wait to try it. 😍
Never had this before but I can honestly say I'm impressed by this variation of pasta.
“Smells like God’s morning breath”
The single greatest description of a scent ever spoken in the human history
I'd imagine it's disgusting lol
How about when James Franco smells the bag of weed in Pineapple Express and says "that smells like... God's vagina"
At this point, I paused the video and laughed for a solid minute.
I was looking for this comment! 🤣
I watched a travel show once where the french guide took the host to a famous market. They went to a cheese shop and picked one up, "...and it smells like the feet of an angel."
What a lovely episode... but I missed Buckwheat.
Right??? Show us the kitty, Babish!
exactly! babish doesn't get to say that he has a kitten lounging around the studio without giving us an update in every video!
If you cut the stock and the heavy cream and add tomato paste and wine instead, you get the authentic rague all bolognese as served in Italy. Nontheless this is probably still lipsmacking tasty which matters at the end. Nothing wrong with adding ur own twist to a recipe.
I can’t wait to make this! Looks amazing!
When he says Optional after I cook a broth for six hours
😂
Optional, yeah. But homemade is almost always better :D
"Until it smells like God's morning breath"
"So we don't end up with kinky pasta"

Babish should take lessons from the Slav king. Acquire taste for caviar and Doctors sausage
My dad and I just made this last Sunday. It took three hours to make the sauce, but I gotta say...it was fricking delicious! I even had the remaining bit for lunch yesterday.
I made this sauce for lasagna and it was such a foodgasm. Definitely recommend!
I've seen enough comments from Italians on other Bolognese recipe videos to know that bay leaf, and ground pork are used by some Italians when making Bolognese. So except for the use of lamb, it looks like a pretty spot on Ragú alla Bolognese.
Edit: Are there any Italians who would actually post the recipe they use, if different from the two I've shared?
Academy of Italian Cuisine recipe, registered 1982:
Ragú alla Bolognese:
400 grams minced lean beef
150 grams of pancetta
50 grams carrot
50 grams celery
50 grams onion
300 grams passata (tomato sauce) or peeled tomatoes
½ cup dry white wine
½ cup whole milk
A bit of broth,
olive oil or butter,
salt and pepper
½ cup cream (optional)
----------------------------------------
Earliest known published Bolognese recipe,
La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiar bene (Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well), Pellegrino Artusi 1891, recipe 87, p. 52-53:
Maccheroni alla Bolognese (Macaroni Bolognese) :
150 grams lean veal (better if in fillets.)
50 grams pancetta.
40 grams butter.
One quarter of a regular onion.
Half a carrot.
Two palm-length ribs of white celery or the herb portion of a green celery.
A pinch of flour.
A little pot of broth.
Salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup cream (optional)
Hi, the recipe i know is made with these ingredients: 50% ground beef and 50% ground pork (or sausage), celery, carrots and onions, EVO oil, a little bit of whole milk and dry red wine, tomato sauce, salt and ONLY if the tomatoes are acid, a bit of sugar. For the procedure there are a little bit of variations i know, someone puts the mirepoix first in the oil then the meat, someone do it reverse, someone uses tomato paste too, but traditionaly ragu is made in big pots and cooked for a long time, so when the sauce reduces, the bit which remains on the sides get transformed in a sorta of tomato paste. The wine it's for deglaze, so it's added before adding the tomato sauce, and the milk is added in the end, it balances the acidity and makes the sauce creamy.
“Entirely made from scratch” The lamb in Bab’s studio: 😳
Just made this but with brown rice rigatoni and it was AMAZING!!!!

@@lorenzobalestri5596 dw they weren't actually telling you to chill, they're spamming that comment everywhere they can, I'm assuming they're desperately trying to get whatever video it is views lol
@@xanam4913 yeah, I didn't see the other comments at first ahahah
I honestly think those videos of italian chefs are so disrespectful and...a little narcissistic? Like, yeah, we get it, only you guys know how to make a carbonara/red sauce/bolognese the god-given, right way. Now fuck off and let me make my tasty food. (Not a dig at your comment, just at those toxic chefs.)
My favorite sauce! I want to try this recipe
for any type of stock, freeze in ice cube trays. you have measured portions ready to go!
Bolognese🤤🤤 since a italian guy taught me how to do it, its never been the same for me❤🤩
My favorite 😍
It was me..
I learnt to make bolognese with my, now passed, grandpa. We made it without wine and its currently the only meal/sauce i can cook. Also im part italian. Im very happy to see this video and its something ive been waiting for. Ty BWB
Thankfully I can get all these ingredients in the Co Op!
Looks amazing, Babish ✌️👍 In my training i was taught this is not a tomato sauce, just like you said, but that passata is essential in a traditional bolognese

I love watching these knowing I’m never going to make any of the recipes
You should try one or 2. Start with something really easy like the basic roasted chicken. Totally worth the time.
Nah, the most basic of them all is wheat dough.
You can make basically any breads with it.
@Mario Meza Like Gordon Ramsay
Same. Mostly because I'm vegetarian lol
Yep, I don’t wanna invite a heart attack in my home.
been watching your show for years; your growth as a cook and filmmaker (while maintaining that silky voice) is fantastic.
I don't know why "Sautaypin" triggers me so much, but it does.
Oh my God! Me too!😂
i immediately went to the comments to find this lmfao. "saucepin" doesnt trigger me that bad but "sautepin" is where i draw the line
Lol I caught that too
yes, that was strange!
He does it in other videos too. One of his quirky things he does for fun. I'm almost certain he pronounces it "pan" IRL
I think everyone has his own bolognese recipe.
As far as I know it's origin was (apart from ragu) a leftover sauce with things you had in your pantry.
I like to use red wine instead of white for a bit added depth of flavor and I grate the carrot which changes the texture and helps to emulsify the fat Babish skimmed off. Also I don't add dairy.
Bolognese just gives you a lot of space to be creative. To be it's more of a concept than anything else.
Get creative and enjoy ☺️
Uhm no, like any traditional italian recipe it's origins can be hit or miss but this time they're 100% sure, you can surely experiment with anything when cooking but ragù still is a consolidated dish that requires the ingredients it was made with more or less, it's not a concept.
Also, whilst Bolognese does exist as a standalone name in italian cuisine, it's usually paired with Ragù because that's what it is, the tomato and meat sauce made in a specific way, originated in Bologna,
"Ragù alla Bolognese" or simply "Ragù" as we call it, adding cream makes it a ragù with cream really, but (at least here in italy) when you say "ragù" you are referring to the Bolognese everyone outside Italy knows.
@@alisonf5875 I don't understand where's the problem in what I've said.
You wrote it yourself, the original recipe is one thing and then there's the one with added milk and whatnot, specified as "American".
The ingredients are fixed for the original version, otherwise there would be no reason to keep it "recorded", don't you think?
There’s actually an official one in their chamber of commerce or so. And he’s not doing that one. Still better than most but close enough. Stefano Barbato does the official one (has english subtitles, I’m not Italian but my friend is)
I start with minced meat (only beef), and once it's browned I put it into the sieve to remove most of the fat. Then I add pancetta to the pan, and once it's ready vegetables. Also apart from the tomato puree, I also add a can of san marzano (if I can put my hand on it, as in Europe is seasonal and hard to get). I go sparingly with the dairy - 3/4 cup of whole milk (I tried after Babish Garfield Lasagne episode). And now I started drooling just thinking about it....
Sorry Andrew, you didn't make this while sacrificing a virgin under a blue moon while reciting poetry, not an authentic Italian recipe.
Nor did he roll out the pasta, using a rolling pin made from a tree that his ancient roman ancestor planted at the beginning of time. *NOT TRADITIONAL REEEE*
Yeah.... You are right, he has a lot to apologize for. This is not the correct recipe.
@@s1lv3rr Thank you for proving both our points.
Oy... -.-
@@BeardedDanishViking you are welcome
Looks fantastic, thank you babish. I'm gonna try.
I have to try this recipe

@blv what are we supposed to find on that search? There is a wide variety of results, none of which are cooking related.
@@ytreece It appears that blv replied to most of the comments. Troll, Joke, or Bot; You can decide.

Would ya stop spamming
Blv he's just spamming the comments so just report in a Spam and ignore.
