I like to eat homemade Bolognese with mezzi rigatoni, which are rigatoni cut to about half the typical length. The sauce completely fills each piece of pasta and then you can eat it out of a bowl with a big spoon. Super comforting.
This is interesting. I haven't seen the milk being added this early in the proces. I've only seen it being added at the end, in a way to revive the cooked down sauce. But if it has tenderizing properties it makes sense. I'll have to try it.
You can try it, but it won't tenderize it more that traditional way. Milk or other dairy will help make it more tender, but not while it cooking in 20 minutes. And it's not the milk purpose in in this dish. So just add it in very end like you already do
My favorite thing about bolognese is how the Italians start crying about how the “real” recipe is held by some corporate marketing conglomerate like it’s the Mona Lisa. The first written recipe, in the late 1800s, didn’t even have tomatoes and prominently featured chicken livers as an option you should definitely add if you had them. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but “recipes as a rigorous guideline” is a brand new thing in human history.
I'm italian and I have to compliment her for the recipe. Depending on where you live, this recipe has lots of variants. For example, in my family we don't use Parmigiano, milk and wine (for different reasons), but we like to use cloves for its own flavour
it is also ok to deglaze first with white wine, then the milk part, the milk helps meat to form little crumbles, also some nutmeg at that point is ok. and you can flavor it with some truffle oil when serving
Huh. Never even considered putting milk in my bolognese. My nonna wouldve had a stroke. But might give it a try - at least once, just to say that I have. She's already had the stroke, anyway
Well, the official recipe includes it. But as far as I remember if the tomatoes were not too acidic just a bit of butter in the end was the standard choice in my family, also in the bolognese part.
Dairy in tomato always gives me the heebie-jeebies. My wife used to add milk to Campbell's tomato soup and it would just creep me out. That said, so many cuisines do it (think Masala).
Looks tasty. I will try this some time. Although it's really similar to my current recipe, but I rarely add wine because I never have any haha. It makes a difference, especially with the fond.
Great recipe and video, Lish! Bolognese is on my list this month. I’ve watched two other recipes/videos and all are very similar with small variations. I will give this one a try. I tried your tomato sauce recipe and it was great.
I don't know, but somehow every German I know here knows this spaghetti bolognese by heart.... year every german, because we had many Italians immigrants
I mostly make my sauce / ragu facsimile much less rigorously than this and way faster and you can get pretty far that way too, but I'm going to have to start making it more like this and simmering it longer than I usually do I guess. There's no substitute for letting things just reduce together into an entirely new flavor that's more than the sum of the parts I guess.
Constantly stirring the meat inhibits browning, and adding the vegetables before reaching desired browning adds too much water, reducing the temperature and once again inhibiting browning
Great recipe for the most part. A few things to note: - Garlic does not belong in Bolognese - wine should be added after browning the meat and veggies so you cook off the alcohol and scrape up the fond - Milk goes in at the end
-Yes it does For the soffrito -You can indeed deglaze the pan with wine, but that wine should in fact be white. -No it doesn't ,parmensan possibly butter, seasoning, possibly sherry vinegar and integration of the pasta itself all comes after the milk. Source: Three Michelin star Heston Blumental etc. probably the best spag bol.
Talk about layering flavors. I bet brown butter would compliment this sauce well. I was already planning to make Bolognese. Now I'm going try your idea too. Thanks
I make this recipe almost exactly except instead of red wine I used a nice cooking sake and instead of a parmesan rind I use a bit of nutmeg and MSG. I'm Asian and it's delicious. Fight me.
@@delavidaebella There's no need to toast nutmeg, as long as you use freshly grated nutmeg, and not powder. I'm guessing that whole nutmeg is super easy to find in Indonesia, since you guys grow it there lol.
You don’t need veal. Pork and Pancetta yes. I wanna know why so much milk? Why garlic? Why the bay leaf and why not 6-8 hours cooking time for the ragú
calling a recipe "the best" just evokes people that look for perfection, and especially on very famous italian dishes, there is a large amount of possible comparisons. massimo bottura cooks his bolognese differently than hers, so do Ramsay and Contaldo. And suddenly, its not her vast credibility as an emmy awarded food stylist vs some nobodies, but an emmy award winner daring to call her culinary ideas better than michelin decorated chefs.
Classic bolognese only has a little bit of tomato paste in it not canned tomato like here. Was surprised that even with almost no tomato it still tastes much of it.
Ok but is nobody, as I’m not one Italian gonna say Mamma Mia about the pronunciation of ‘tag’ liatella? The G is silent 🤫 as in…just pretend it’s not there. Sheesh
That's sweet! 2 hours simmering a ragù di bolognese 😂. It should be at least 4 hours better 6h. Essential is mixing tomato paste with water and then reduce it. If you only use tomato paste there is not enough liquid to simmer for a minimum of 4 hours. Guisto o corretto 🤪
I always enjoy the genuine happiness when they finish and get to taste.

I like round pasta too for meat sauces. Sauce goes into the noodles. Yum.
We are going to have to try that that sounds like a great hack😊
I love Lish, such a fantastic and joyous teacher. I’d watch her explain anything.
I personally can’t stand Lish

Are u a professional chef? Lmao
Both the milk and the wine tenderize the meat... I know a lot of people (italians) who add it before the whine, but I like to add it after the wine.
Mario Batali adds it early others add it at the end
lish is so sweet😭 id love to have her teach me in person & sit down & enjoy a meal together💗

this would make a lot of sense as offal, like liver and kidneys, would frequently be soaked in milk to prep it for cooking. now I have ideas lol
lish is amazing. needs her own program. same with frank.
Frank has his own show proto cooks
And we are off to comments to see what Italians think about this.
Italians are the worst when it comes to food purity chauvinism
I'm italian and I have to compliment her for the recipe.

Northern Italian family. We don’t use milk in our bolognese.
@@colleengallo4831but Bologna is in the north and they use milk
@@oliversteininger7679 no, its tolerated by some weirdos.
not standard at all, and the gruesome grey color it gives...
oh well, americans do you.
Had an amazing Short Rib Bolegnese in Knoxville last week. Now I'm obsessed with Bolegnese.
Recipe in the description please!
it is also ok to deglaze first with white wine, then the milk part, the milk helps meat to form little crumbles, also some nutmeg at that point is ok. and you can flavor it with some truffle oil when serving
I deglaze with red wine first, then add the milk. does it make a difference which comes first? might need to experiment with that.
Looks delicious!
This looks incredible. My understanding of a real ragù is that it is much more of a stew, like this, than just tomato sauce and meat.
Always start with your onions first, get the water out of them because water does not have flavor, put some color on them then add the meat.
As chef Jean-pierre would say 😅
I was looking for this comment.
I like to start with the meat and remove it once cooked, then add the onions. “Layers of flavor” as chef Frank says 😅
@@aaronconlinthat is the proper way you scrap the pan and it adds flavor to the onions then you re add in the meat
Yeah. I think the way she did it was strange.
Loved this one!
Wait, does the rind actually melt down - or did you remove it?
You remove it it together with the bay leaf at the end
Ya the rind will never disintegrate and melt away. You will always pull it out later.
Epicurious and / or Food Network : WHEN are you going to give Lish her own show? She is far SUPERIOR to most on your channels.
Anybody else see that happy smiling little kid face in the pot at 5:09? 😊
Nice
😊
Aaaahhhhh
Welcome back Lish!
I feel like Lish and Tig Notaro could play sisters in a movie. Maybe they own a restaurant together where Lish is the chef
I would totally watch that!
Honestly this looks so mouth watering I WANT SOME NOW PLEASE!!!!
Very colorful shirt ❤
and love your cooking style too 😊
I'm so lucky to find this video while wondering what am I going to have on me dinner with friends!
Love watching her❤
Huh. Never even considered putting milk in my bolognese. My nonna wouldve had a stroke. But might give it a try - at least once, just to say that I have.
She's already had the stroke, anyway

No milk for me
Is there an ingredient list here?
Looks tasty. I will try this some time. Although it's really similar to my current recipe, but I rarely add wine because I never have any haha. It makes a difference, especially with the fond.
just finished it, what a world of difference the milk makes. incredible
OMG Can’t wait to try that out. Thx’s Chef
Made this last night and it was amazing
Hello and thank you, please write the necessary ingredients and their amount in the caption❤
😋 MILK ? I never knew ... Mmm Mmm Mmm 🍝
It looks delicious
Blue is the warmest color.
Show of hands 😂❤

Salt always makes everything taste better.
Fave! Thank you so much!!!
Could you put the sauce in a slow oven for hours, instead of needing to stir it on a hob?
stop it stop it . i cant take it anymore . gime the bolognese now !! haha
What's the ingredients and amounts of ingredients?
Yeah I prefer the flat noodles over the round ones.
Love that Cantina Zaccagnini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo you’re using. It’s my house red. We also lovingly call it ‘stick wine’. IYKYK
I don't own an apple product and can't access the app. Where can I find this recipe?
Easy and simple.
That is a lot of dedication to just the sauce
When milk is heated, its proteins (casein and whey) denature and lose their tenderizing effects.
I mostly make my sauce / ragu facsimile much less rigorously than this and way faster and you can get pretty far that way too, but I'm going to have to start making it more like this and simmering it longer than I usually do I guess.

Considering it is a recipe of her own making, I think she can do the order however she wants and put whatever she wants in it.
@@jonathanbowen3640no way you use garlic in bolognese soffritto. No matter the amount of stars your source may have.
I did a big squirt of mustard into their recipe by accident. It turned out quite nice.
Beautiful
I toss my pasta in some browed butter before I add the sauce.
Talk about layering flavors. I bet brown butter would compliment this sauce well. I was already planning to make Bolognese. Now I'm going try your idea too. Thanks

nutmeg and msg sounds like a promising alternate to parmesan in that application.
@@animalarmy you dont claim that your way is the best, so you do you.
Did you toast the nutmeg first? Parmesan is expensive in Indonesia, imma try the nutmeg 😂
@@delavidaebellasearch up marcella hazan bolognese. it uses nutmeg and white wine. its really similar to this one
@@delavidaebella There's no need to toast nutmeg, as long as you use freshly grated nutmeg, and not powder. I'm guessing that whole nutmeg is super easy to find in Indonesia, since you guys grow it there lol.
did you say milk???
Just a little splash, it helps round the acidity of the tomato. In my opinion she added definitely too much milk there.
MILK? U mad?
Just a bit of milk in the last hour of cooking for balance, not the whole cow’s worth that she put in the beginning
This is American pasta meat sauce, not bolognese.
Cook meat and the tomatoes and wet stuff for hour and a half…then Cup of milk… cook that for 45min the magic will happen.
Milk only at the end people!! Little bit not 3 cups 😊
Ummmh... I think the title needs fixing since it's tagliatelle bolognese not spaghetti 😅
🤓☝🏻
I think bolognese is always supposed to be tagliatelle though?
Bolognese sauce is supposed to be eaten with tagliatelle
The title I see says pasta bolognese
actually its tagliatelle al ragù alla bolognese 🤓🤓
Flip.
Or tongs , as long as the pasta is covered with the meat sauce.
Looks pretty solid to me. I'd have added 2-3 Anchovies for additional depth of flavour.
omg it looks so tasty
Where's the veal, pork, and pancetta? Milk not cream?
@@nephthys0xa499 never cream. Just whole milk
You don’t need veal. Pork and Pancetta yes. I wanna know why so much milk? Why garlic? Why the bay leaf and why not 6-8 hours cooking time for the ragú
@@Disturbed666METALbc it's ground meat, it cooks faster
Ah. So, Bolognese is not only the language of the people of Bologna.
What Happened to the VINO To Deglaze the pot then you can add the dairy at this point.
Where is the recipe
No link to a recipe? (other than 'free trial') Wow...that's bad.
Yes, I know, that's the one thing I hate about this channel.
The sauce is salted and seasoned, adding the pasta water with that level of salt is overkill.
Is the spaghetti in the room with us?
Not traditional bolognese at all, but intrigued. Wouldn’t mind trying this out to see how it is
Americans hardly make authentic and traditional Italian dishes.
She never said nor implied it was traditional so boo you for saying this
@@MrSincerity88 I am aware she never said that. What exactly is your point?
All the non-award winning armchair chefs are out in force today. 😐😂

What can I do if I can't fine San Marzano tomatoes? :(
Amazon
Just use a decent quality passata
Almost every grocery store Carrie’s canned San Marzano tomatoes these days.
Classic bolognese only has a little bit of tomato paste in it not canned tomato like here. Was surprised that even with almost no tomato it still tastes much of it.
"Regianno" two syllables: reg yan oh
Rej ee ah noh
Milk? MILK ?!! 😂😂
Strange. I learned that a authentic Bolo starts with a Soffritto....
True
But...soffritto is in this? It's mirepoix+, in this instance the plus is garlic
@@cthomas025 For me soffritto is braising the mirepoix in butter for > 30 min.....
im gonna tweak if she says bowl-o-naysay one more time
Should be white wine
Garlic? In a bolognese? Really? Sorry but that does not belong. :)
When are we going to stop twisting pasta on the plate…especially saying “now we’re going to twist the pasta”
To up the umami, add Colatura di Alici?
🤤👌🏿😋
first time hearing that pronunciation of bolognese
Chefs usually respect the dish's country of origin pronunciation....in this case, Italian
It's the correct pronunciation
But TaGliatelle was wrong 😂
I wonder where the wine has gone...
Missed the sofrito step.
no pancetta?
More Lish please!!!
The 2 hour simmer: lid on or off? Did she say?
no milk at the beginning, horror
Ok but is nobody, as I’m not one Italian gonna say Mamma Mia about the pronunciation of ‘tag’ liatella? The G is silent 🤫 as in…just pretend it’s not there. Sheesh
I prefer Vicenzos Plate's Recipe. Very traditional and very simple. Just my personal preference.

Essential is mixing tomato paste with water and then reduce it. If you only use tomato paste there is not enough liquid to simmer for a minimum of 4 hours. Guisto o corretto 🤪
Im not watching this just budding in to give you a tip, do not ever use the expression “restaurant quality” if you want to be taken seriously.
As per the official recipe, you MUST have pork...jussayin
Where is the half of cheese you put in?
Did she put milk at the end???
Where is the recipe please?
Do you make your own pasta??
