Spaghetti Bolognese - Original Italian Recipe

[DaFakaMatt]

Is there a quicker way of doing this one?

[rakynoah]

i bolognesi non mangiano gli spaghetti con il ragù!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jaredchung]

Could you please explain the rationale for simmering for 90 minutes while adding the broth a little bit at a time? What is the chemical or physical effect we're trying to create with that process?

[yellowsaffron]

@jaredchung I can give you the "pragmatic" explanation: if you cook the sauce for 90 minutes without adding broth, it would dry out and stick to the pan; on the contrary, if you add the broth all at once, you would boil the sauce (not simmer) and the flavours wouldn't blend well

[BruceLeeonSteroids]

Can I make it with Tofu?

[yellowsaffron]

@BruceLeeonSteroids We never made it, but you can try! In this case, you don't need to cook it for so long...

[BruceLeeonSteroids]

Can you upload the vegetarian version of this it looks delicious

[0jiQ]

how to change if the meat with beef? whether there is material that should be added?

[tyreez10]

if i don't wanna use red wine what the other thing i should change it to .. thank you

[yellowsaffron]

@tyreez10 Beef broth

[lykishable]

it is ok if i dont put redwine in this recipe?> tnx

[yellowsaffron]

@lykishable You can use a little beef broth instead

[SanctumStudios]

I've made this a few times now for my family and they all love it, especially the kids. Thanks very much! Now Ive started adding thyme, oregano etc. replacing the milk with cream.. experimenting a little. Not sure why people feel the need to mention what right or wrong and how theirs is the best lol. who cares.. cook, eat, be thankfull : )

[yellowsaffron]

@SanctumStudios I agree with you, experimenting is a great way to learn to cook!

[tantiagustin]

hi, what is the best type of red wine I need to use for this sauce? Thank you

[yellowsaffron]

@tantiagustin Any red wine you have at home is fine!

[bicccio]

please don't put ragù with spaghetti... the best kind of pasta is tagliatelle... also maccheroni are good... but please don't put ragù with spaghetti, because they can't be happy together... trust me, i'm from Bologna...

[AnnaMuscetti]

@bicccio

I agree tagliatelle are perfect or macchheroni (rigatoni)

Have a look also to my recipe for bolognese sauce (I've made the lasagna with the bolognese, but you can use it on pasta).

bye bye from Italy

anna

[crax4dan]

Needs san morzano tomato and garlic :)

[ashsister]

can i replace the wine with something else?

[yellowsaffron]

@ashsister You can use beef broth

[Twoncho]

@ashsister no

[LapisGarter]

Spaghetti Bolognese is not an Italian dish because in Italy you never put ragu with spaghetti. The pasta doesn't hold the sauce at all and it's just a waste. I normally pair the sauce with conchiglie, rigatoni, tagliatelle or tortellini.

[ShadowOfDelbi]

All these recipes and I am so hung over.....*drools*

[Dionydejesus]

Absolutely the BEST CHANNEL in YOUTUBE nobody can match!!

[googlyarsetube]

If this had been made by anyone other than an Italian you would have had a bunch of people complaining how its not been done 'correctly' "You should use white wine not red!" "where are the chicken livers!?" "cook the meat seperately!" "foreigners know nothing!". This is the basic recipe I use but I use a can of passata and let it reduce with the lid off. Not exactly the same and slightly more tomatoey, but I like it enough and it would be boring if every recipe was exactly the same.

[googlyarsetube]

Oops, sorry. I decided to check the rest of the comments and there indeed a bunch of "expert" know it alls as with all Bolognese recipes and videos.

[Gr1Ng00]

one of the best channels on youtube

hmmmm :P

[yellowsaffron]

@Gr1Ng00 Thanks! :-)

[jonvegard31]

@yellowsaffron you are beautiful, amazing women! i love italian food :)

[jonvegard31]

@yellowsaffron By the way, when italians cook the spaghetti, do you put olive oil with the spaghetti? we do so in my country

[yellowsaffron]

@jonvegard31 No, olive oil is often added to the sauce, but not to the plain spaghetti!

[sampleforyou]

I love Italien food

[ltlmma]

what wine do you in the recipe?

[yellowsaffron]

@ltlmma Any red wine you have at home!

[BatakGemblung]

@yellowsaffron what about cinzano.. will it work?

[yellowsaffron]

@BatakGemblung No, you need a wine not a liqueur!

[yellowsaffron]

@BatakGemblung No, you need a wine, not a liqueur!

[GoldfishLight]

I love the voice! it just sounds so cute!

[ynb106]

as I knew, we should add some chopped parsley or basil into the sauce, is the original recipe without them? what about adding heavy cream instead of milk, good idea? thx

[yellowsaffron]

@ynb106 This is the original recipe according to the Italian cooking Academy, but every family changes it slightly, so yes, you can add parsley, basil or oregano! As for the heavy cream, it would make the recipe heavier, so add just a little bit

[ChrisSquareFan]

@Trekker84 I think that by making this on low heat in 2 hours you get a rich taste. But nevertheless, Ramsay's recipe must taste good too

[yellowsaffron]

@Trekker84 You can try both, then tell me! :-)

[Trekker84]

@yellowsaffron

Challenge accepted!

[realitaliankitchen]

I'm from Tuscany and I make a variation on the Bolognese. I don't use milk or cream and use sausage or no pork at all. To all the fanatics I say that the beauty of the art of cooking is to mix different ideas and different styles. Like music. There would be no new food and no new music if different influences hadn't come together. Of course we could all do without some ignorant recipes (and ignorant music) but this is not one of them.

[djjorgebeats]

muito bom io tambem vou fazer o mesmo porque eu amo a pasta macarone i love it

[TheWolfstarr212]

Finally, real spaghetti bolognese and not American ragu. Thank you.

[inutilm]

thx

[rembrandt1941]

its interesting to see that the italian cooks hardly use any tomatoes..very dry..oh well you live and learn!

[neomysterio]

Milk?

[kevico2]

@neomysterio No thanks, I'm trying to cut down... lol

[piotrryba]

Very Very Good Recipe THX!!

[XfaCTor94]

hi yellowsaffron.....can i just use only beef?? my country prohibits pork in public places, so its very hard to get, even if i do get it, it'll be super expensive....:/ beef and chicken maybe?

[yellowsaffron]

@XfaCTor94 Only beef is fine!

[XfaCTor94]

@yellowsaffron amazing thank you..:)

[1990Olloccin]

can i add more tomato for this recipe?.=)

[yellowsaffron]

@1990Olloccin Yes, of course

[873175]

@1990Olloccin No you cant. You'll cook it how you've been told!

[1990Olloccin]

ahm what kind of wine does blend well with tomato and meat?red wine or white wine?i saw some videos using white wine on their pasta.=)

[yellowsaffron]

@1990Olloccin In this case, red wine is better, but there are a lot of dishes that call for white wine (for example fish pasta or roast meat).

[tangypasta]

needs more tomato, i use fresh and paste. Also lacks garlic, also very important. I put in basil and oregano, and cream rather than milk.

[wtfgetatme]

My mom always did this recipe when making spaghetti, it is fabulous !

[dkcrookie]

Thanks yellowsaffron, seems delicious, i'll try it tonight. Best regards from Portugal!

[spiderwebchick]

I am going to try this!! so happy you shared this

[balitanja]

yumm yumm i can´t wait to make this recipe your a really good chef!!!:)

[Quillons1]

It amazes me when "experts" come out and say "This isn't how it's done". On the contrary, this is EXACTLY how it's done. There are many variants to it but this is the traditional recipe. I make a "Quick" version of it that people would say (correctly) is not bolognese, but I call it that anyway when I have a wife and 3 year year old to feed and dn't have 2 hours to make this but it's still basically the recipe. Save your nonsense for someone French who's food sucks anyway.

[conishuaa]

to everyone saying bad things just SHUT UP!

I made this recipe and.. OH GOD!! it was thee best pasta dish that I have ever made!! trust me I cook a lot.

thanks yellowsaffron, your recipes are really good :)

[yellowsaffron]

@conishuaa Thanks! So glad you tried it!

[aw8wa]

smokey bacon??? pancetta affumicata in un ragù???? questa è pazza!.. non è una Amatriciana!!!! ci va la salamella se proprio vuoi mettere del maiale dentro!...

e mai il pepe!!!!! ma un peperoncino piccolo.. la salsa mai passata, ma a pezzetti!!!

[undertakerii]

Clemenza will be proud

[dongyo69]

1:28 2:09 3:16 = ???

[sinkbelow]

I just love Italian food.

the best in Europe.

[pepeycholo]

@sinkbelow best food is from Spain my friend =P

[Showinbulge]

There are way to many voices in this video, it's annoying.

[fingustis]

Right, I'm coming over for dinner. See you in 5

[rostant999]

so different than how made in usa/canda by he italians there - no crrots, tomatoe based and with garlic no cream/milk. meat is ground beef. and it doesn't cook for 2 hours.

i saw british version and laughed when saw carrot and lee and perrins sauce but now see it is close t how mae in italy.

[Bravo21]

Use 1/2 &1/2 or light cream rather than milk, and don't even think of skim or 2%. It does make a difference, and a wonderful difference it is.

[Kimijun78]

Spaghetti Bolognese DO NOT EXIST! NON ESISTONO! ILS N'EXISTENT PAS! Ma è così difficile capirlo??? La salsa bolognese esiste (ragù chiamatela, please!) ma NON si accoppia certo con gli spaghetti!!! Semmai con tagliatelle o altri formati di pasta grossa che sono utili a trattenere il ragù (maniche, gobbi, etc...). Ma gli spaghetti sono la cosa meno indicata in assoluto. Chi ha liberato dal manicomio quella tipa??? By un bolognese DOC

[yellowsaffron]

@Kimijun78 Come già detto svariate volte per commenti precedenti, questa è una ricetta che è stata adattata per l'estero, dove sono molto più conosciuti gli "spaghetti bolognese" rispetto alle "tagliatelle bolognese" o al "ragù": gli ingredienti e il procedimento sono gli stessi, ma per far sì che vengano trovati è stato scelto questo nome. Comunque se vai sul nostro sito italiano giallozafferano.it troverai le ricette con i termini originali!

[funkfuchs88]

@Kimijun78 Infatti al estero si conosce prima di tutto la bolognese con i spaghetti, all'ora fa senso mettere quelli nell video inglese, o sbaglio? vai a rilassarti un pó, va, che fai inervosire la gente qua.

[romber58]

@Kimijun78 I didnt understand every word you wrote,but i understood the tone.You sound like a religeous fanatic bringing the same blinkered mentality to food... calm down and dont act as if you know everything.

[Kimijun78]

@romber58 Like you would appreciate Fish and chips covered in peanut butter

[1990Olloccin]

@Kimijun78 ahmmm english dude

[conishuaa]

I'm going to do this right now but tell me wich kind of spices can I add? when shoul I put th spicees?

Can I use tomatp puree?(couldn't find tomato paste)

THANKS :D

THANKS :D

[yellowsaffron]

@conishuaa You can add thyme or oregano when you add salt, and yes you can use tomato puree!

[themochico90]

le vedete? allora esistono :) e direi che mi è venuta pure fame gnam!

[AnnaMuscetti]

have a look to my just born channel , only 7 recipes, but so delicous.

let me know

bye bye from Italy

Anna Muscetti

[mydevastatedheart]

Can you make this without pork? I can't really eat pork....

[yellowsaffron]

@mydevastatedheart Yes, if you prefer

[BaruzadBlog]

@mydevastatedheart Use Lean pork ... large part of taste!

[PhillTheChill96]

There is 90 minutes from 13:36 to 14:18 ? :O

[NewOldOne82]

how about some tomatoes? ... just for the real taste ... Ö.ö' .

[TheSunmanho]

FAIL from the beginning. REAL Italians call it "Spaghetti alla Bolognese" not "Spaghetti Bolognese". You can tell good from shitty restaurants just by looking at the menu.

[kiminokami]

@TheSunmanho You can tell good restaurants from shitty ones by tasting the food. You can call your shitty pasta "Spaghetti alla Bolognese."

[AtomicBeatzPrd]

geil o_o

[chmellen]

At the end it turned into beef strogonoff.

[Chronos781]

this is horrible!

[0oChiLLeDKrOeTeo0]

put some rosmarin , bit of sugar (with the meat ) ..tabasco if u like spice (or fresh chilli) ...and to make it perfekt dont use Beef-/ or Chicken-Stuck ....try to get nice wild beef stuck or mushroom mix ..... yummie

and btw this totally lame ... put the pork in to get some colour .. 2 sec. later now add the meat .......'when the meat is getting a bit dry .. o0 ? ^^

[macak321]

panceta is not bacon :P

[yellowsaffron]

@macak321 I know, but it's much easier to find the bacon abroad!

[pepeycholo]

@yellowsaffron i think u have to rename the video because its not original -.-

[pepeycholo]

lol ppl making REAL spaghetti recipes lol the whole world makes it their own way... and this way is still wrong lol it is not the original recipe -.-

[pepeycholo]

@yellowsaffron and u DO NOT USE PORK... that isn't original. let me break it down.. beef onions carrots celery garlic red wine... thats the original recipe... without a doubt.

[stefaniauk]

@Logicalpoots ;) always :D

[stefaniauk]

@Logicalpoots maybe ur right :) cause my mum is italian and know how to make the perfect bolognese sauce ;)

[nerioq]

Ma di che cosa si parla???? non esiste una ricetta di spaghetti alla bolognese!

[indispettito]

@nerioq

ma non li si può arrestare questi incompetenti?

[yellowsaffron]

@indispettito Spaghetti bolognese è semplicemente il nome con cui questo piatto è conosciuto all'estero, quindi in questo modo riteniamo di poter diffondere la ricetta rendendola comprensibile anche fuori dall'Italia.

[nerioq]

@yellowsaffron Sarà pure una ricetta con cui qualche straniero ha voluto richiamare la cucina italiana con 2 parole: spaghetti, e bolognese, da italiano però e per giunta bolognese, non vedo di buon occhio questa ricetta, firmata inoltre italiano: giallo zafferano; un sito con altre ottime ricette. Bologna a parte, è una ricetta che non esiste da nessuna parte in Italia e una vera beffa alla buona cucina italiana. Spaghetti bolognese li si si ritrovano solo in certi ristoranti per stranieri!

[copperhead88]

I like Ajvar in my sauce

[stefaniauk]

way to much meat

[andiar]

No herbs or spices ?

[yellowsaffron]

@andiar You can add thyme or oregano to taste

[paconot]

I'm hungry!

[Chaaarge]

instead of using ground beef, I've been to many restaurants where they chop up the beef really finely. Is that common in italy?

[yellowsaffron]

@Chaaarge What's important is that the meat is chopped very finely, doing it with your hands is probably considered more "refined"

[Benny118811]

@Chaaarge so have i but i can never get it as fine as they get it! it frustrates me haha.....

[Gabrieleg78]

This recipe doesn't exist in our cooking. I don't know who invented this "monstrosity". Even if you can find this recipe in some italian restaurants' menu for tourists, the real bolognese recipe is "Tagliatelle alla bolognese".

[yellowsaffron]

@Gabrieleg78 This is basically a recipe for ragout, but this dish is widely known abroad as spaghetti bolognese. You can use either spaghetti or tagliatelle, but the sauce remains the same!!

[100percentgradeA]

Mmmm

[Cytacon]

Cool pasta pot.

[conishuaa]

can I use just beef? Can I use fresh peeled tomatoes?

[yellowsaffron]

@conishuaa Yes and yes!

[WeaselGregor]

As much as I respect the original recipe I personaly don't like it that way. Much more tomato sauce, garlic, ... :)

But thanks for sharing!

[poniran]

what can i use instead of adding red wine...?/

[yellowsaffron]

@poniran Beef broth is fine, even if the wine makes the sauce more aromatic

[mirtillirossi]

spaghetti bolognese???  Please change the name of the recipe, because you will never find this insane combination in a Bolognese restaurant or cookbook. The sauce is ok, and it really takes a few hours to prepare it, but please, keep it away from spaghetti!

[poniran]

im hungry at seeing this video...but 4 hours cooking,..im dead before meal is ready..

[tangypasta]

lol im new to cooking, can you mince vegetables that fine just using a knife?

[yellowsaffron]

@tangypasta If you use a mincing knife it's much easier!

[OrdiNance]

what's the butter for? i didn't see it being added in

[jimboboy]

all respect to itaialians, they are the gods of cooking, fashion, football etc but i prefer the english method . i mean 4 hours to cook a spag bol is ridiculous

[LexSwift]

Whoa. This takes wayy too long for me. Haha

[lisanti42]

Can I add some garlic? 

[UndercoverLdn]

@lisanti42

You sure can. In fact, I wouldn't leave it without... I don't understand why they don't add garlic either... There are so many different recipes for bolognese, I guess this one in the video is the 'original'?? Adding bacon seems so strange to me... I've worked in a REAL italian restaurant for 5 years (no, olive garden isn't 'real') and I've learned to make it a whole different way... and yes I add quite some garlic! In fact, I'm eating my spaghetti now and it's delicious :)

[conishuaa]

@UndercoverLdn if u add garlic...it doesn't get burnt?

[UndercoverLdn]

@conishuaa

Nope, you should use fresh garlic and try to slice it very thinly, or just use a knife and cut it up as thin/small as possible. If the garlic is thin enough, it should melt away in your sauce... :)

[indispettito]

@lisanti42

absolutly not on ragu

never!!!

[MrAlireza100]

How about some "italian" seasoning... basil,oregano,bay leaves?

[ianman6]

@MrAlireza100 Yes, you can add those if you like. I like thyme (fresh) and oregano (dry) in this. I suppose you could add basil, which is actually my favourite herb, but in this recipe I don't think it goes as well. Thyme and oregano are 'meaty', if that makes sense. But it's up to you.

[indispettito]

@MrAlireza100

not on the ragu!

[uncopino]

i like this sauce with spaghetti but actually it's not meant for them... the real italian recipe is "fettuccine alla bolognese". maybe yellowsaffron put it on like this because fettuccine aren't easy to find out of italy and spaghetti are more popular...

[ianman6]

@uncopino You're right, fettuccine or tagliatelle is usually used, and fettuccine is actually easy to find in Canada and America at least (tagliatelle a little less). But Americans are used to 'spaghetti bolognese'

[nitannna120194]

Hello. Can u please tell me by what i can replace the beef stock and the meat u used?

[walnutpenguin]

im eating bolognese as i watch this, my faviroute dish OF ALL TIME! get in my bellleeeeehhhhhh!!!!

[dragonflychainsaw]

i am sad to see that people today are so impatient that they can't cook anything more than a few minutes i remember my mom cooking sauce all day and i really have not found anything today that comes close

[dusted04]

@dragonflychainsaw im with you mate

everyone is in such a hurry

iam 26 years old i cook my family dinner everynight with fresh ingrediants

most people dont realize that alot of healthy home cooked meals only take an hour or two to make

instead of 5 minute microwave meals packed full of chemicals

[MrAlireza100]

@dragonflychainsaw May be because then there were no "magic chefs" around :=) ,and other kichen appliances not so readily available.

[skeilak]

This looks tasty, and not at all difficult...

I'd probably leave out the minced pork, and go for all beef. And I'd definitely add a clove of minced garlic.

I'd also think light cream would be best. I mean, you're eating a ton of fat anyway. Using milk, would be like making a root beer float, with diet soda.

But how much is a "glass" of milk and wine? About one cup, each?

[yellowsaffron]

@skeilak Just less than a cup, more or less

[skeilak]

@yellowsaffron

Thanks so much for your reply!

I will most definitely be using this recipe soon.

[romber58]

@skeilak

Using your "healthy recipie" will probably help me live forever ...but i would never have enjoyed an authentic Bolognaise...

[Violka1987]

When I cook Spaghetti Bolognese, it takes about half an hour. That being really slow.

I really don't understand why people think they need to cook minced meat for hours and hours, to make it a horrible dead plop of stuff???

[erikamv90]

I've made this a few times now. Even though it takes a long time to cook, it's most definitely worth it. So delicious. I'm usually a terrible cook but it was very easy to follow along with the video and my whole (Italian) family loved the meal. Thanks!

[markomanius]

No garlic?!? Hmm, I don't make it this way... similar but not the same. I add to this amount about 2 medium tomatoes, I add two garlic cloves, that's all after the wine is absorbed. I add also some spices like 1 bay leaf wile cooking and some basil. I cook it about 3.5 hours. I can say the best sauce is when cooked over fire on "medium heat"... it absorbs some of the smoke and it tastes unbelievable. Cheers!

[XowntXihqX]

this reminds me of russian cooking. use as much fat as possible.

[VeePD23]

can I leave the bacon out ?

[yellowsaffron]

@VeePD23 Yes, if you prefer so

[waltterivainoharha]

I just love it....gimme some...

[seppel412]

well if you made a good sauce which isnt dry like i dont know what, then you dont have to add watery spaghetti to get to an good result....

[yellowsaffron]

@seppel412 If a sauce is dry it doesn't mean it's not good... it depends on the ingredients. Anyway, in this recipe it's not necessary to keep the spaghetti wet

[seppel412]

yeah right and the wet spaghetti straight into the bolognese so that your sauce gets all watery... think i keep it cooking my way

[yellowsaffron]

@seppel412 Leaving the spaghetti slightly wet helps to make the sauce less dry and blends the ingredients better

[mikeym1334]

No garlic?

[yellowsaffron]

@mikeym1334 No, there's onion. But if you want, you can use garlic, too: add it at the beginning together with celery and carrot.

[Spectre233]

hey yellow saffron, quick question, how much spaghetti will this recipe cover about

, 1pound, 2 pounds?
