how to make Italian Bolognese Meat Sauce

[pethas100]

Having expensive equipment is not what makes a great chef. Why so many product plugs?

Maybe this sauce tastes good but cooking the meat separately seems like you would lose flavor. I also don't understand the addition of fresh and puréed tomatoes? Why not just use whole canned tomatoes all the way. They are the best for this kind of dish. Lastly the dish presentation is unappealing. It would be better to mix the past with the sauce rather than dump it on top.

@pethas100 Ah, You are a Troll , No ?

[chefgiovanni]

@budibausto you are a fool. I'm an Executive Chef and have cooked this dish in Italy.

[chefgiovanni]

People, do not think this is the only recipe for Bolognese Sauce, this is only 1 of them that I decided to share with you. I have made this sauce 1000 ways and they were all excellent, according to my customers.

[chefgiovanni]

Trolls, please stay under the bridges, if you come out, don't be suprised if you get what you deserve.

Hello Chef Giovanni,

I never thought about the tomatoes needing sugar.. I have family in Zola Predosa and they have always told me NO Sugar in the Ragu. I have never tried your Meat Sauce and I will try it before I say anything.. :) I do love your butcher block and grew up in Effingham, Illinois where they make the Boos Butcher Block. I lived about 2 blocks from the factory. I've had mine for over 30 years... they last forever and the older they are the more beautiful they become.

[snaggypaggy]

WOW beautiful cook and equipment. Where did you the knives sir?

[Lisa661166]

OMG.. I love that Boos butcher block!!

However, NO SUGAR in real Italian Ragu

[chefgiovanni]

@Lisa661166 Hi Lisa,

thanks for watching the video.

SUGAR, well, some like it sweet.

The amount of sugar depends on how sweet the tomatoes are. TRUST ME.

[itsmesharoniii]

Thanks so much for posting this!! Can't wait to make this next week because it looks amazing.

[kahlschlag17]

discusting. This is maybe as far from being a proper bolognese as the moon is from the sun.

[europop2005]

@kahlschlag17 YOU ARE SO RIGHT !!!!!!!

[TheSonia0128]

i think you are a very good skilled chef,with up to date eqipments

[chefgiovanni]

@TheSonia0128 Well Spoken ! I'm a Chef Instructor !

[photonprojector]

Around 5:25 I am sure there is a glitch in the matrix, I heard talk of 10 inch shafts...twice!

God help you Neo!

[chefgiovanni]

@photonprojector You are correct. It was left there to see how many viewers noticed (and because we like to work fast) !

thank you !

Chef

[photonprojector]

@chefgiovanni Awesome equipment man, recently started cooking myself, made an extremely awsome bolognese sauce today with onion, celery, garlic, carrots, can of chopped tomatoes, couple of bayleaves, handful of mushrooms which I am told is wrong, a glug of red wine, salt, pepper and a sprinkle of some dried herbs.

Seemed simple to cook, longer to type, good work fella!!

[chefgiovanni]

@photonprojector Excellent. Hope it turned out great.

I once had a man from Bologna tell me about his Balogna !

Bahhhhhh, there is more than 1 way to skin a cat.

I like mushrooms in mine too, so it is good!

[whatevarlol]

Hey, how many people would the sauce serve and how long does it take to prepare it?

[blueway9]

Hello Chef Marinara/Giovanni your sauce is delicioso!!, very close to the way my Italian sister makes it..Thank you very very much for posting this and taking the time to do this..much appreciated Pisan!!! Big smiles Sam

[missrehal]

BEAUTIFUL !!!!:o)....

[chefgiovanni]

If you have nothing nice to say, go choke on a sausage. Or, simply say nothing at all.

[manormaid]

Damn that is a block of knives goin on there

[sausage4mash]

looks like a tasty bolognese sauce ,got to laugh at the comments ,people just do not understand there is no one correct way to make a bolognese ,lol.

[Rampoii]

two thing.. he didn't fry of any tomato paste.. and the parsley went in a little too early for my taste.. but nice! and CRAZY skills with the tools dude :-)

[veivei]

great skills on using your tools and you have ALOT of tools too :P and look at the knives. you must be a KITCHEN WARRIOR :P

[hoex12345]

thats guys a crazy slicer,hes slicing crazy when chopping those carrots and onion

[tnoor]

Interesting to see oregano being replaced by parsley ..or did I miss something? either way: I feel like modifying my bolognese a bit ;)..thanks for posting your recipe-video.

[chefgiovanni]

I often use dry oregano, but the taste of fresh parsley is more noticable and has a great taste. Being bright green, it also adds some extra color. Try both in your next batch !

[tnoor]

"Try both..." I will =).Thanks again. It's always interesting to see how others prepare this truely great sauce. If I may give you an idea from my own recipe: try adding1 or 1 1/2 peeled, cooked and diced potatoes as well as 1 tablespoon of cumin powder and let it cook with the minced beef for a good while (min. 8 minutes on medium to lower heat) before adding your vegetables. This gives the sauce a restrained but nice earthy flavour..yet again:everybody's tastes is different ..fortunately;).

[RetardPwnage]

Really enjoyed the recipe, it's very close to how I cook my own, except for the blending of course, I prefer the texture of roughly chopped vegetables in the sauce rather than the puree type sauce in the video.

thanks alot =D

[chefgiovanni]

Thank you for the nice comment. You must be a great cook !

[fbrechbiel]

why no celery, milk or wine? Most other recipes for bolognese have those.

[chefgiovanni]

Celery is OK, but many girls don;t like it.

Milk never goes in a meat sauce, but you could add Heavy Cream, then it's a Pink sauce (like Vodka sauce). Wine is good, but I like the finer bottles so they only get poured into my glass.

Chef Marinara needs a Slap Chop for Christmas.

[chefgiovanni]

Thanks little man, but I got a box full of Slap Chops!

[patches1711337]

Your a good chef but a bad film editor

[chefgiovanni]

Well, thanks for your opinion. FYI - I never claimed to be a editor or photograper. Simply sharing food and thoughts. You have earned a rotten apple.

[patches1711337]

I know you never said that but its not hard to not repeat something in a video. Like aminuk23 said you cant take comments

[chefgiovanni]

Your channel sucks hard, but the music is cool.

[nit1374]

wow! You,re really fast with knives!!!!

[karlhungus20]

there are no mushrooms in an original bolognese sauce and there aren't herbes de provence neither.

[chefgiovanni]

Thats the way we like it. Can't help it if my sauce tastes better than yours (thats what she said). I will bet anyone out there a pile of money on any sauce or cooking throwdown, anywhere, anytime. Chef G

[aminuk23]

its funny that you cant take comments! i bet u never learn anything better, cuz u think u probably the head master or the best on this while u not. even the best chef in the world doesnt khow everything, its even more funny how you get offended when someone says this is not a proper way. c ya

[aminuk23]

that looks ugly, however good gadgets in the kitchen, the way u made it also wrong. u have to fry the onion frist and let it get dark before adding meat, plus tomatos must be choped not a plumbed one! its a sauce not a cuisin!

[chefgiovanni]

Glad you can cook something.

Thats the way we like it. Can't help it if my sauce tastes better than yours :) By the way, you are not BONO and those glasses are very gay. Chef G

[chefgiovanni]

Please say something nice, or shut the F up.

[gottome]

Excuse me, wich spice did you use at 4:02. plz?

[chefgiovanni]

Dried Basil, and Italian Seasonings Blend (oregano thyme rosemary basil)
