    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!

      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.

      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

    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)

    • @edoardobiggio6439
      @edoardobiggio6439 4 роки тому

      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.

    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 ☺️

    • @ilpatongi
      @ilpatongi 4 роки тому +2

      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.

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....

      I am from an Itallian family, my grandad came from Lazio, and I strongly dislike Itallian food culture. EVERYTHING has to conform to a strict regimen, regardless of taste or potential improvements. Cooking, is, like many other artforms, a conversation, about improving and adding to preexisting dishes, and developing new ones based off of older dishes.
      Itallian food culture is all about going BACKWARDS to older dishes. Carbonara with peas is an abomination that should be stopped, yes, but at the same time, you get shots fired at you for so much as using GARLIC. I'm a garlic lover who puts it in anything possible, yes, but like, it also goes good with nearly everything. Carbonara with garlic tastes GOOD, and I'm not willing to EVER compromise on taste, and neither should anyone.

    And third, root celery, not the stems.

    I tried this tonight, and I can't say I'm impressed. Maybe I did something wrong, but what I came up with didn't impress. What I see in the video is a nice cohesive sauce that coats the noodles like you'd expect a pasta sauce to. What I got was just ground up meat and veggies mixed with noodles. It tasted fine but it didn't "marry", if that makes sense. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but right from the start a few things seemed off. I don't know if that's actually 3 lbs of meat in that dutch oven you got because in MY dutch oven, which I think is the same size as yours, the meat filled it and instead of creating a nice fond when it browned, the pot was so crowded the meat just kinda simmered. I didn't forget the wine, chicken stock, tomato paste, milk or anything else, so I don't know why yours cooked into a beautiful sauce and with mine I'm tempted to dump a jar of Bertolli in just so it can look like actual pasta sauce.
    I didn't miss any ingredients or any steps, so I'm disappointed that what I got was essentially "well I'm gonna eat it or else the food wins" bachelor chow instead of something I couldn't wait to snap some pics of and send to all my friends and family.
    I've followed your recipes before and gotten amazing results. Last weekend I made all my friends jealous after following the Chicago Deep Dish vid and making the best home-made pizza I've ever made in my life. This one was a dud. I'm sure this will get buried but I just wanted to register
