[wayne1955]

Wow, way too much pepper and salt!!

[Pimpsonite]

I tried this tonight. Best sauce I have ever had! Thanks for this. I didn't have all the spices, but I did my best. Love the big chunks idea.

[miguli]

It may be delicious and I'd eat anything, but I have to say that did actually look repulsive :S sorry :(

[MrKang0329]

I don't like to criticize others cooking, but I know where you can buy salt and pepper wholesale. I'm no Wolfgang Puck but it looks like you murdered it with salt and pepper. I was thinking that maybe you did this for a hypertensive friend trying to make his head explode.

[MikeyMidtown]

is this a joke? you want to cook your 28oz can of puree, a massive amnt of paste, like 2 onions and wads of oregano before the video ends? The way you prepped that sauce, it would need another 2 hrs to cook, min... waste of 5min...

[MikeyMidtown]

is this a joke?

[GuavaJ3nny]

This is a joke right? Is the meat even cooked?

[HulkHoden]

Please tell me you didnt eat that shi.t

[prasannah2007]

dude i make better meat sauce than u and im not even italian, ur NONNA is turning in her grave

[MrBoy219]

the reason it is thick.. got a ton of salt and pepper in it

[LittleBoPeeps]

I think Grandma forgot to tell you how to prep and prepare the ingredients. You just don't throw everything in a pot like a stew and hope for the best.

[MarkBH70]

@LittleBoPeeps Give advice.

And it's "throw everything into a pot like a stew".

[KingKongFan]

Hello Mark,

I sent you a message you regarding this recipe. Please check your inbox.

[FearNoBitch]

The ingredients you're using are pretty common for this type of sauce however kind of under stirred, under cooked and over salted but hey I have not tasted it so it might be good. I'm going to try and make some myself. Thou I wont follow every single step from your video I will use some of your ingredients. Thanks for posting.

[MarkBH70]

@FearNoBitch You're welcome. Thank you.

[jc172197]

@MarkBH70 What region of Italy does your family come from? Our family originates from Calabria, our spaghetti sauce is... different to yours in that yours has a lot more extra ingredients and the process is different.

We always brown 1 sliced onion and chopped garlic in olive oil with basil, salt, pepper and sugar.

Beef cuts reserved for stews, pork trotters or pork on the bone or chicken

Red wine

tin tomatoes and a bottle of tomato reduced tomato sauce.

Cooked for 2 - 3 hours

[Congresista]

Im from Spain but spend long periods in Italy. Can swear that no one would cook something close to what you have done, it is just unthinkable of, plus it looks quite bad.

[heather19821982]

whoa..looked like alot of salt....

[dannners]

is this recipe for about 7000 people?

[MarkBH70]

@aaaa5474 :)

[letsgomets002]

yes to italian cooking what a mess

[letsgomets002]

yes to italian cooking what a mess

[jada021405]

Did he add about a half a can of pepper. I counted adding mass quantities of pepper three times. Wow I know his grandmother did make the sauce his way. You have to stir the pot to make the sauce. The veggie's were almost whole and he didn't even add wine or fresh garlic. lt's looking thick because you didn't stir. Way too much water. I'm sorry that was disgusting. Very hard to watch. This was a joke video right?

[chrisnapierutube]

Sir

This is without a doubt the most bizarre method of cooking I've every seen. Basically empty your fridge and cupboards into a saucepan and don't even stir it properly. I loved the line "let the spices just lay on top"! Maybe it's a wind-up

[MarkBH70]

@chrisnapierutube Ha. Ha. It's delicious.

You made me laugh. Much.

[joeb678]

Okay, well I would just like to point out that he doesnt even really know what he is doing. I am in school for culinary arts and this is just insane. The seeds from the peppers dont add flavour at all. He doesnt even know how to say the names of the spices. This is hard to watch!!

[MarkBH70]

:)

Recommendations?

If there's a way I can improve it, I'd like to.

[Gulfdiver]

Dude thats just fooken wrong.. take this down! Your gonna kill someone!

[MarkBH70]

Dramatic, huh?

Are you sure you're not Italian?

[00Papyrus]

Yeah, I would just recommend that the longer it simmers the better...simmering on a very low heat won't allow it to burn...just make sure u stir ever 15-30 mins...i made sauce from raw tomatoes yesterday and it was possibly the best sauce i've ever had...if it seems really watery let it simmer longer or perhaps even add some tomato paste...hope this helps...

[00Papyrus]

Mark great recipe! Amazing taste man, thank you for sharing that.

[MarkBH70]

Thanks, Pino!

I think I've got it right. It certainly differs from a lot of the recipes out there. No basil. Reheating is a good idea. Have any recommendations about simmering?

[RPete100]

I tried it and I think your Mom is right about regrigerating it. It was better the next day and even better a few days later. Thanks. I did my veg's first and let them cook about 30 minutes on low. Great job.

[MarkBH70]

Great! Thanks! And I'm glad you liked it.

[saucenick]

Are you serious? your 80 plus Great Grandma made this? Now we all know how she died!!

[MarkBH70]

Thanks. Her husband lived to 99. Planning on it?

How would you do it?

[marco06lai]

What the heck is this? People could get kill with this recipe. Do u know what are u doing?

[MarkBH70]

You're a little late, someone already made your comment.

Yes.

[khangsai]

wow.. you dont have a clue.... saw the ending again, and whatched the start.... no way........

[khangsai]

wow.... no way...... let me shut up until its over......well.. this video should be banned from you tube. its not grandmas recipe.... this is a recipe from disaster, this is why people need health insurance... to help us when we die suddenly of stupid ass sauce.

[MarkBH70]

Ha. Ha. Ha. You really made me laugh. Actually. I thought it was a funny comment.

Great-grandmother's.

What you got???

[bohs1984]

This CANNOT be good. enough salt and pepper to choke a horse. Seeds are the secret? hmmmmm.

[MarkBH70]

???

[MyGoretti]

Don't know too many Italians that put green peppers in their sauce.

[MarkBH70]

Wow! My 80-some Tuscan great-grandmother always did, when she was alive. And salads too actually -- big hunks of green pepper in salads, with red onion, Romaine lettuce, oil and wine vinegar. Do you know many Italians? Maybe it's regional. She, my g-grandma, never put mushrooms in either.

[porn1978]

Is it ok to use chicken stock in your sauce?

[MarkBH70]

I guess. They say beef stock is good.

There's a similar recipe for it with beef stock. I know that works. Chicken stock? Sure. I guess you could try it.

Make sure it's got the bay leaves, anise seed (or star anise, I guess -- somewhat optional), pepper, etc.

[porn1978]

I didn't know you could use beef stock. I'll try that one first. Cool,i'll pick up some of those seasonings also. THANK YOU Mark,i enjoy your videos.5 stars!

[MarkBH70]

Hey, if you want to use chicken stock too, check out risotto recipes with the rice in that recipe and chicken stock.

[porn1978]

Oh i did,and i wrote down the recipe.Thanks Mark!

[CheesePea]

That...wow...that seems like a lot of salt and pepper.

[MarkBH70]

Yep. Watch the masters.

[stevehammett69]

OMG is this for real !?!?

[MarkBH70]

??? I suppose. Are you for real?

[CookingWithAlex]

hey man. im a 13 year old who likes to cook, and i cook very advanced foods. can you check out my check out my channel on the 25th of july when i put my first videdo up?

[MarkBH70]

I'm sure someone can. :)

[fupifrik]

I'm sorry man but if you know anything at all about cooking properly this is not the way to go, I would be very suspucious to eat that the meat is not even cooked properly yet. Also you should cook the tomatoes and vegetables (which is what you dont specify at all?) for at least 20 minutes slowly in oliveoil and then add any eventual meat.

[MarkBH70]

Thanks for your comment. :)

The most important thing I have to say is that with ground beef, that is broken up, it cooks very fast especially at higher heats. Cooking ground meat in sauce also dramatically decreases the cooking time, but you can also cook the meat longer. Importantly the sausage was cooking a while.

Olive oil doesn't work well here. I've done this 100's of times. You might want to cook the vegetables longer, this was a quickie.

[MarkBH70]

Also, I've done this 100's of times and never gotten sick, but the sausage must be cooked longer, and it was.

[MarkBH70]

I've tried fresh garlic before, but I think my mother and great-grandmother used garlic powder, because it's more concentrated, like dried garlic. Why healthier?

You didn't notice I used two types of meat?

I'll do as I wish. "thx" for what?

[letsgomets002]

@MarkBH70 what the hell kind of italian sauce was that I'm Italian from NYC nobody makes sauce like that that looks like shit

[letsgomets002]

@MarkBH70 what the hell kind of italian sauce was that I'm Italian from NYC nobody makes sauce like that that looks like shit

[MarkBH70]

@letsgomets002 Why?

[kcmakeup]

YIKES alot of garlic and pepper i think it was a accident lollll looks good though

[MarkBH70]

Could have been too much pepper; I honestly don't remember. Not too much garlic though! :) It's Italian cooking, and you put it on unspiced noodles so it balances it out. I very rarely make an accident with this recipe. I may have cooked it over 100 times. :) Probably! Probably more like 250 or more.

It is good. Right from my 'Nonna' from Italy itself.

[MarkBH70]

It is good! I just posted it!

I didn't know Watkins had anything but pepper??

Sure. You do it 10 times, you can pretty well do it without thinking.
