You NEED This Meat Sauce in Your Arsenal

- Bolognese might be THE meatiest sauce. Yes, its deep, meaty flavor comes from meat, but also from proper technique and in this case a low and slow cooking method. Welcome to the video for one of my go-to dishes for cozy season - Pasta Bolognese with homemade Tagliatelle pasta.

I love the way Brian brings up his experience here. He doesn't brag about having worked in a "professional kitchen" as a shield against all criticism and to flaunt superiority over us home cooking _peasants._ He recognizes that home cooking techniques are different than professional kitchen techniques and that gives a few gaps in spite of his depth of knowledge and skill and also doesn't put the professional kitchen techniques on a pedestal.
That sort of humility and understanding is key to mastering anything, and that's one of the reasons why he's managed to reach such a level of mastery that he has.
Edit: Oh, and as someone that does not have access to a stove, but does have access to a toaster oven, thank you for the oven technique for cooking meat. Obviously I'm not cooking pasta and pasta sauce, but it is still useful for me for what I am eating.
I made this just like the video. It was great. When Brian says âTrust meâ, you can trust him. Thanks for all the recipes and handy hacks. Much appreciated sir.
Thanks for trying and reporting back meatface
You are double-dipping your spoon in tasting, which is vomitingly disgusting.
â@@soavemusicaI assume you haven't noticed he didn't cook the dish in a restaurant(for strangers)but in his own house(for himself). What's wrong with "contaminating" the food that you or your family are going to eat with saliva. Sharing your germs with your family is basically inevitable in a normal household.(i specified "normal" because from what i have seen you don't come from one). The sauce is getting cooked which destroys all the microorganisms and licking food of a spoon isn't the equivalent of spitting in it. There won't be much saliva at all if you do the former.
â@@soavemusicaholy crap, you're the worst.
@@soavemusica simmer down, heâs cooking this for himself and his family, not for you.
I get happy when I see your well-used dutch oven. It looks like mine which was handed from a loving stepmother from her mother. As comforting as the bolognese itself.
This has the feel of the perfect Sunday meal in October/November. Definitely going to try, thanks!
Roasting the mince separately in the oven, cooling and breaking up by hand is a genius tip!
Can just break up the meat in the dutch oven with a tool, saves time and you dont need to waste disposable gloves for it
Agreed thatâs a good little hack. Adding all that tomato deviates from what this should be: a meat sauce with a bit of tomato. I use the same amount of tomato paste and then beef stock and milk to create the âsauceâ. Finish with reduced cream.
I just use my food processor to pulse the meat after it's cooled a bit from the oven for recipes like this, another good hack.
Finally, a bolognese my way, ground beef and pork. Iâve been side eyed plenty for this dish but itâs perfect for anyone who takes the time to try it
Roasting the ground meat in the oven đ€Żđ€Ż game changer!
Seriously!!! And chopping the veg in the food processor to move things along. Grandma wouldn't approve but I certainly do!
@@lisaboban if your grandma is italian she will even rise from the grave to spank you
Eh, just use a potato masher while the meat is in the pan... way easier.
Right!đ
I dont really see the point of the oven-roasting step as you only achieve caramelisation on the top of the meat, its a bit of a waste of gas for very little pay-off. If the meat you buy is nice enough quality it shouldn't be so necessary for the average home cook. I have stood over the stove and seared ground beef for 30 mins as you mentioned, it produces an enjoyable effect but now I tend to brown my meat very little or not at all and I'm very happy with the result I get. More important is caramelising the vegetables and tomato puree well without burning and deglazing accordingly - and letting the fridge overnight be your second oven (though the sauce has more vibrancy the first day). A good long slow cook is essential and a slow reduction. I like the idea of oven-baking the bolognese and will try this next time - however sugar and balsamic are a no-no for me. Another good thing is to add a bone or a pigs foot at the beginning in lieu of chicken stock.
Word.
Or once you have a meat sheet. Rough blend it.
I made this for friends tonight and it was magical. This may be the best Italian dish I have ever had. I cooked a lot of Italian food but this is my favorite. It takes a lot of time especially if you make the pasta but it is worth it. Food of the gods. The balsamic was the perfect touch. I note that you do not mention the pancetta in your written instructions but if others cook this don't forget the pancetta. I don't know Brian at all, so I can say this guy is a genius. This recipe takes all the traditional Bolognese recipes from Italy and creates a new dish that is out of this world. I will donate tonight.
Thanks very much for trying!
2:00 for those looking for the pancetta in the video.
this is not italian version
@@luciferlicno1531LOL - probably every family in Italy has a different way of making Bolognese. So which one is the Italian version? I am Italian and this is a great Italian rendition of the sauce.
@@luciferlicno1531 Is the Italian version, no tomato and port and veal mince with the soffrito without the fennel and then milk at the end?
Made it tonight, loved the texture and balanced sauce. I also appreciated the food processor for sofrito and meat sheet for browning tips for execution. Iâm used to making the rustic babysit the stove version. đ€
I've been making Marcella Hazan's Bolognese recipe for years, but your method is stellar & I must try it!!! I have a GF egg noodle recipe I break out for special occasions, and making this Bolognese recipe will definitely merit the time & effort for fresh pasta. Thanks for another winner, Brian!
Omg. Omg. Canât wait to make this! Iâm new to your channel and have been binge watching every episode! I cannot wait to get started cooking! Thank you so much!!!â€ïž
I always learn so much watching your videos! Thank you! Youâre amazing and I canât wait to make this!
Thanks very much for watching. Tag me over on insta if you do make Iâd love to see the final product.
I am cooking this tonight and I am soooooo excited!!!!!
Second time making this... Still holds up! Perfect for the rainy Oregon winter.
I admire a man who cooks. Pasta from scratch is very difficult for me. You are a great chef, Brian. đ„đ„
Looks amazing, canât wait to try it
Thank you for the recipe. God bless you and your family.
I balked at the idea of baking the meat on a sheet pan until I tried it in Brianâs âdope chiliâ recipe. That technique elevated my chili to a level I didnât think I could achieve. Won me the chili cook off at work :) Iâm sure this bolognese is gonna be legit when I get around to making it. Thanks, brother. Keep âem coming.
Dude, this recipe is sooo good, I used dried pasta and it was amazing. The finishing technique with the pasta really takes it to the next level.
Before this I had tried about 8 different Bolognaise meat recipes, with only one really giving me the rich flavour I was craving. But I think this recipe is even better that that one.
So your recipe has flown into my 'go to banger recipes for impressing guests', along with Nigella's Lasagna of Love and Gordon Ramsay's Steak Sandwich.
I see some comments about adding herbs, sure why not. However it doesn't need herbs, the recipe is fantastic the way it is. Tip of the Hat to you my friend, if this is what I can expect from your channel I am excited to go through your video catalogue. Thank You!
I made the bolo sauce last night, so good! A must try. Love your videos!
Thanks so much for giving it a try! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thank you for inspiring me to make this. Absolutely love your channel!!
Thanks for being here Ryan.
As well this too I did it the way it is and it turns so delicious love it. Thank you so much Brian
i'm literally in love with your channel i can't stop binging your videos
Hey Bri,
Been watching your channel for about 8 months now! I have tried quite a few recipes now. The videos are easy to follow and production is well done. Between the chapters in the video and the recipe in the description it is so easy to follow along.
This is such a great sauce! We made it, it ran out, and I started planning to make it again. We had regular, bland (easy) pantry spaghetti sauce another night and it was sooooo disappointing. Thanks for this tasty recipe!
I made this for Motherâs Day last week. It was a huge hit. Only thing I had to do differently was I used 2 lbs of ground beef and a half pound of Italian sausage. Otherwise,
I did it just like he said and it was SO worth the extra time and effort!
I'm really enjoying your recipe videos! Great work!
Once again youâre a culinary genius and thanks for unlocking the magic of the oven! The recipe made a ton of sauce so I froze half. After bringing it back from the frozen tundra in a saucepan on the stove, I can say youâre recipe tastes as excellent as the day I made it! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
man! Heâs teaching me how to make noodles! Yeah nowadays we just buy whatever type of pasta packages from stores. But hey man, appreciate for including how to make pasta doughs in your video!
I just luv everything you cook!!
Love love love your videos, glad I can across themđâ€ïž
I made this today, totally worth it and the oven method is making it so easy.
I've made this for my family twice so far. My 4 yr old and 2 yr old love it! I sneak in more carrots and it comes out great.
Ok.. this has been up for a while, but WOW.. super happy with the result. I now pace my home cooking to you channel. SUPER AWESOME dishes and even better instruction!!!
Made this yesterday for Sunday sauce. It's the best Italian dish I've ever made. It's probably going to be my forever go to. Big thanks my man. Whenever I have inspiration for a dish, I'm searching your videos for your take on it. Only thing I failed to do was label the uncooked pasta in the fridge and my girlfriend heated that up the next day in the microwave thinking it was cooked. She still loved the pasta raw in the sauce!
Thanks for trying dood!
I'm so glad I've discovered your channel! so down to the point! thank you!
Welcome! Thanks for watching.
I love how you cooked the meat in the oven. I now do that for all my ground meats. This sauce is so wonderful and easy. I also made your ciabatta bread. Couldn't make bread to save my life before I found you. TOTALLY AWESOME MEAL. Thank you for all the wonderful videos
Thank you for watching them! Glad these are working for you
I just found your channel last night and I fell in love with the way you talk about cooking. Iâm a mummy to hungry boys so I need to up my cooking game⊠I make spaghetti bolognese most weeks but I could learn a lot from you! Iâm doing this recipe next time for sure đ
Came across your channel today and made your bolognese sauce! OMG its my new go to recipe that im only using from here on out! My kids loved it...thank you so much...blessings from irelandđđđ
Just got done making this luscious sauce, this is the best bolognese I have ever made and I have experimented with what seems like hundreds of recipes and this one hit it out of the park. I made this to take on my sailing trip and will use it for a number of dishes. My guests will go nuts. They have no idea what they are in for. Thanks for this recipe. See you all in two months. God bless!!
Iâll say it again. You have an amazing culinary mind. Love the roasting ground meat instead of wasting that time over a pan frying it. Brilliant Brian!
Can't wait to give this a try, thanks đđ» .. Meantime you asked about our favourite dry pasta, mine is fusilli. But always fresh tagliatelle if there's time and space.
Thanks again!
Fusilli is the shiiiiiiiit
Just made this for dinner, turned out wonderful! Thank you for an amazing recipe it was so good.
Thanks for trying!
My favorite shape for bolognese sauce is radiatori. Radiatori is the ultimate sauce gripper. The bits of meat and veg get into the grooves between the "fins" of the radiator shapes, and into the hollow spot where it curls over. It's just delightful.
Awesome recipe, made it yesterday and had it for lunch today and it got even better after being in the fridge for a night. Can't wait to try the chili!
Woo! Overnight bolo bb
BL has become my favorite sauce chef!!!
So many good ideas!
Going to do this with a dry rigatoni/Pappardelle or even a wide egg noodle.
Love the al dente feel you get.
Will try it as always / as is.
Also, try adding an olive medley to the finishing sauce and some type of heat/Thai chili.
The olives soften and cook and create a briny explosion in your mouth. Pits become internally separated and are easily navigated and discarded while eating.
The caramelized depth from the sauce, salty explosions and a little heat...
The best I have ever made.
definitely the most under-rated foodtuber out there! You deserve more subs my man!!!
I know! I don't think I've ever seen the comments of a video where so many have actually tried to make the recipe, and they ALL love it. But i see it almost all the time for Brian's videos
You da man B! love the vid. TY
You nailed this đ
Thank you
I've been using your recipe for the past few months and never got around to thanking you for it, so here I am. Thanks a bunch! This recipe is amazing. And just now, for the first time I'm preparing it to use it in a lasagna tomorrow. Hope it turns out just as beautiful as always.
tell me if it did bro need to fckin know!
Spectacular recipe đ„
This was deeeelicious Brian!
Man! Thanks so much for all your amazing recipes!!!
Glad you like them. Thanks for watching!
Thank YOU so much for YOUR time and attention! Another home run here - I have gone all the way back to your weeds and sardines days and have printed off every recipe that works for us and put them in a BL binder. Made this for the grands who are staying over this weekend and canât wait for them to try it. Donât have the attachment for my mixer to make the pasta, but gonna try the supermarket buitoni refrigerated fettuccini. Hope it doesnât ruin the whole thingâŠ..btwâŠyou have made cooking fun again because your recipes always come out awesome - thank you!!
Another Outstanding video!
Iâm a new viewer of your channel! Iâm retired Firefighter and can cook. You are the best on all your tutorials and I appreciate your passion.
Fantastic!
Made this last weekend and it was an elegant sauce. I haven't attempted fresh pasta yet, though. There is no need for another Bolognese sauce recipe. This is it! I think it was the white wine and pancetta that made it so special.
Man I'm digging this channel. Simple ,to the point, excellent narration and great subtle humor hints. Keep up good work new sub.
Thanks man! Appreciate that sub!
I'll defo try this. I think many of us have our own developed bolognaise dishes but I'll happy try an excellent chefs tried and tested method đ
New Aussie fan wow as an Italian cooking Bolognese this way new, will give it a tryđŠđșâ€
Another good one. Yumđ
Bravo!! congratulations
Looks very lovely. I'm gonna give it a go tonight!
Good luck đ
This looks ridiculously good and Iâm so making it this weekend. I prefer ABâs bolo for his lasagna recipe but this seems comparatively less complicated and just as fab. Canât wait to try it with the fennel and balsamic.
AB? đ
@@overunder344 Anthony Bourdain
Loved it. Thanks.
Thanks Willie
THANKS :) (going back thru your vids)...
I have been working basically my whole life to perfect my bolognese, and while I have it at a place I love, I'm always looking for new techniques to improve it.
I will definitely be trying your oven method for cooking both the meat and the sauce. I always like to use a pound of beef, a pound of italian sausage, and a pound of lamb.
And my favorite pasta shape is spaghetti, and on an off day I like linguini sometimes.
Hands down one of the absolute best cooking channels I have ever seen, Hooked!!
THANKS BILL!
I follow another page called pasta grannies. I learned how to make a Bolognese from a 90yr old Italian lady from there and have never gone back to a standard pasta sauce let alone one from a jar. This recipe is pretty much spot on!
.
Also, I know it's not traditional in any way but I love spicey and cajun, food so I made a cajun version.
Basically pre season the veggies with black, white and red pepper before cooking. Also finely dice a couple jalapenos in with the rest of the veggies to give it a bit more bite. Again, I know it's not traditional and but good lord is it good!
I love you, I love your channel and most of all, I love your food!
Brian's portion is my amuse bouche. Looks great!!
Subscribed! Cool video. Meat pan is a something I've not seen before.
You had me at meat sheet.
Seriously though, yours is one channel I watch & come away with knowing I can make what I just saw you make. Youâre a good teacher.
LC - exactly what i'm going for. thanks so much!
A good tip for anyone, as you check the sauce, use a brush and a little water and paint the burning sides of the Dutch oven. Donât waste the fond on there. Itâll fall back into the sauce and make cleanup easier.
Excellent job!
Thank you very much!
I tell everyone I know about you! My sister is hooked. The videos always yield some great tips and recipes that I am dying to try. Keep on trucking, I wish you millions of subscribers. You deserve it.
Thanks so much, Tiara!
Never thought of sheet pan roasting the meats. I'll try that. I've been using equal parts chuck, pork and bison for this dish, also meatballs, meatloaf, cottage pies, etc. Oh! Reminds me.. I'd love to see your take on some dough-encased dishes like pot pies, empanadas, pasties, galettes, and such. I would like to get better at these pastry crusts.
Always enjoy your videos,restaurant quality made at home,thanks so muchđđżđŠđđœ
Thanks Tanya!
Very nice and not too difficult. I'll make this sometime for my wife, it's her favorite.
Nice! I've been cooking my bolly in the oven for years, and i put honey in instead of sugar. Never tried fennel in it though
Brian, excellent job. Very well done. You have some of the best suggestions on techniques to make things easier/more consistent/efficient of any of the cooking channels I follow. I should add I picked up that trick of simmering sauces in the oven a long time ago and one of the additional advantages of it is that you substantially reduce the risk of scorching tomato product on the bottom of your pot. Maybe you mentioned that. Anyway. The "meat sheet" was a new one, which I plan on copying. Best regards!
Thanks for another great recipe! Will be trying it this coming weekend.
Also wanted to say that you're easily one of the best cooking CZcamsrs out there and I hope your channel keeps growing. I'll do my best to spread the word.
Oh dude, thanks so much for saying that. Seriously. I hope you enjoy the outcome. Let me know how it goes.
That is the best sauce I have ever eaten!
oooohhh... gotta try that !
I lived in many countries and, every time, I sold my kitchen ware... including the Mercato pasta maker... I should buy another one for sure.
Tagliatelle... the G in "gli" is silent. Pronounced like "Yea" in "yeast"... well, I had to found something in your video!
I just made this and it was the first of his recipes that I tried. The only two things I did differently was I omitted the fennel bulbs because I couldn't find them and I cooked it on the stovetop because my dutch oven was dirty. I was worried about the balsamic vinegar and lack of spices/herbs but the flavor was amazing and it's the best I've ever had/made. I highly recommend this and freezing some to use in other dishes. Next I'm going to get a pasta roller and try making it from scratch for the first time.
Brian! I recently discovered your channel and tried this sauce tonight! đitâs perfect
My family loved it and my husband wants me to make this our staple spaghetti sauce from now on and I agree. Next Iâll be trying your sheet pan pizza hehe yay! Your channel is one Iâll be coming back to time and time again!
Have been making bolognesa sauce often with good success, but i will give yours a try. How you roast the meat is new to me. Will do that.
Pasta making never went well..
....too thick i am afraid, but will give it another try now i saw your video. Have a handcranked pasta machine but your attachment looks so much better
Your channel is under-subscribed, but your content is fantastic. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel. I learned a lot.
Thanks for saying that! Iâm hoping to continue to improve as I go. Iâm glad you're here! Thanks for the sub and the nice comment.
Delicious đđđ
Your videos are great and you do a great job teaching
I appreciate that! thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Bri, this bolo. oh my god. Thank you
đđâïžâïžâïž
Very dope video!!..Thanks for sharing..
Thanks for watching!
I've been making bolo for years now, and my kids love it (little do they know i put in nearly 50% veg including mushrooms) the oven Roasted meat is something I'm definitely trying next time but i make 10 litres of the stuff and freeze for a quick meal when I'm in a rush. Thanks again for another perspective on such an important dish for my family đ
Great way to give em veg! I sometimes chuck a load of shredded courgette in there too
I made this on Sunday. I've made the classic all day/2 day bolognese before. I gotta say, my wife thought this was the best bolognese I've ever made, and it only took a couple of hours. I also loved your short cut with the meat on the sheet tray. Definitely made life easier. I went with homemade pappardelle... I thought I was going with Tagliatelle, but that stuff EXPANDED haha. Amazing recipe, and one I'll be making monthly for sure! Cheers Brian!
I don't care if this breaks some traditional rules... This sauce is dope. I've made it 4 times now and I keep getting more confident eith it. Its a showstopper. And while the oven can shorten the process... You can also let it refuce for a very long time using this method and its great!
Looks amazing
Thanks Suz!
New subscriber, Brian, so keep doing what you're doing, the videos are awesome. I realize that it may be the chop suey of Italian cuisine, but I would love to see your take on Pasta Puttanesca. No rules, Brian, just you. Let the flavors explode!
