When Gennaro was in London teaching how to make pasta, in the break my daughter filmed him. So Gennaro said in this short video, addressing me.'Hi Georgia, come stai..... I love Greece, watch foodtube....'. I was so moved . I love you Gennaro and I love your lovely recipes . I have been cooming greek food for over 40 years but I still learn a lot from you.
My late mother came from Piemonte so added with the most passionate chef i have seen for a long your video had me smiling the entire time. What a beautiful man. Thankyou..
My dad used to make spaghetti Bolognese and I have still not had a meal as good as that. He used to improve it every time he cooked it and he cooked it countless times. It was always better when left overnight and reheated the next night, I don't know why, I guess it "becomes itself" and marinates, mellows out. Nothing else compares. It was so nice, the sauce was beefy as opposed to being red and tomato tasting, I bet you could leave the meat out completely and it would still be nice even with no meat in it. I wish I had the recipe. One thing I remember is, it was on the hob for 8 to 10 hours at the lowest heat, stirred at least once an hour.
Second time I've done this recipe, I must say it is ridiculously good every time. This is the authentic bolognese recipe I've been searching for a long time. Thank you Gennaro! God bless you! 🙏🏼
@@OutragedPufferfishtraditionally cooked on low heat with lid on stirring every 10 minutes or so for 3-4 hours but you could make it quicker the longer it cooks the nicer it is 😊
This is my favourite dish of all time and my favourite thing to cook as well. I love trying out different methods every time I do it to see what works for me more.
What I’ve learnt about making a tasty pasta sauce is that the simpler the better. I don’t add to many different herbs and I make sure to add a good amount of salt and pepper :) not sure if this is totally traditional for all pasta dishes but I love using parsley in red pasta sauces :)
Love Gennaro, even the way he talks tells me whatever he’s cooking is going to be sooo delicious ! Delicious, delicious ! This is my favourite dish of all time and my favourite thing to cook as well.
J J as an Englishman I can hear no English accent at all, but my grandmother lived half her life up north and half down south. To northerners she sounded southern and to southerners she sounded northern, so if he lived for some time in England he’s probably picked up a bit of an English accent. (Even though he sounds 100% Italian to me)
@@KennyTew2 You can hear that he has spent time around people from Essex - Jamie mostly i reckon. Every so often he comes out with an Essex inflection.
Grazie Gennaro. (I hope someone passes this along) I've been using your Margherita and Rissotto recipes for years now, and they stood the test of time. I'm sure I'm going to be using this one as well. Thanks again.
@Exitoz Er no, just someone who knows what ingredients are in the "original one". He also left out the milk and used the wrong colour carrots. Tut tut.
They also eat the most vegetables in Europe and live really, really long, especially in the "blue zones" of Italy where people live to over a hundred. But their meat and cheese is amazing as well as their dessert too, not just vegetables!!
I just made this recipe, it was perfect! I did not even add any salt. I used a ratio of 1 liter of water and 10 grams of salt. Thank you for this recipe!
Yay ... I needed my weekly dose of Gennaro. I came to this channel for Jamie ... but I stayed for Gennaro!! Keep them coming Gennaro. You beautiful man you!
I have eaten at some of the best italian restaurant in USA and best home owned nonna cooking places in Italy when we lived there. Today I made this by myself and this is the best tasting bolognese ragu ever. I didn’t have tagliatelle but I used thick spaghettoni and it worked like a charm.
Italian Spaghetti sauces are so easy to make. No need to go to a restaurant !!! I also lived in Italy and only went to authentic Italian restaurants because they were so 1) CHEAP and 2) CHEERFUL. Just make all your food from fresh basics. So easy.
People on other channels complain when the chef doesn’t take a bite on camera. This man knows he deserves to enjoy his food in peace off camera a true legend.
This bolognese is the absolute madness! SO DELICIOUS! But I have already had a tear in the eye that he has made the great food only for himself and nothing for the cameraman! haha
@@LK25278 because their audience - mostly americans - thinks that what Carluccio and Contaldo cook (or what is cooked in their restaurants) is traditional italian food. Believe me, it is not.
You only get that in try hard fancy restaurants, I don't think people with taste that know their stuff in tradition throw some strange flavor crap on there to make the meal look more complex and exciting for some Instagram photos
@@ccllvn Quite a few traditional Italian recipes incorporate parsley. I think its a great kitchen herb not only for garnishing. On blogense you dont need it though, that is right
Kate Jeal right i dont know whats great about parsley, i hear a lot of people hate coriander but to me parsley is the worst herb, its so bitter and metallic
In his meatball recipe he adds lots of parsley. For me, it just goes well with minzed meat so I add it. Plus, he cooks with stock often. And stock often has parsley. What I'm asking myself, he doesn't add any thyme whatsoever. Mark Pierre on the other hand does. So confusing
I was in Murano, the island of glass artwork. I watched the guys from the glass shop leave for lunch and followed them. The restaurant was simple and so "workmen" and they served this Bolognese as it shows in Contardo's presentation. I am longing to go back there. Best Italian pasta I had.
Some of the Italian like these we adopted from Italy...As we also love to watch their recipe thats why I share my passion about cooking too. These is good recipe with cheese.
I have a genuine passion for cooking i love it. Im currently in the army and when it is quite, in the block i cook. I Will for my freinds, i am currently in Germany going to poland on exercise tomorrow. so i when i get back I will make this dish and go full blown experimental 😅 wish me luck on the dish
Theres something so relaxing about watching Italians cooking outdoors
Theres something so stressful about watching italians cook uside down
Realer words have never been written
Yes, I wish I could live in Italy and enjoy the life just how he does. 😊
This guy needs to get meals on wheels and rest
in front of a fucked up buildung.. you forgot to mention :D
Gennaro Contaldo is an italian treasure. May he be blessed.
His wife left him many many many years ago
Li volia dir a l,altre señor que els espaguetis carbo es fan amb un colorante negre si pot ser natural

Ive never seen something as italian as an old man contemplating how good his bolognese is going to be while sitting in the sun.
best part ever.

Jamie Oliver worked for him.
A passionate and "mature" man......ain't nothing old about him!
@@happymv5350 he’s old. Idk why u need to romanticize it.

0:34 I love how he says "oh yes" so aggressively
It's sexual
Gennaro is quite possibly my favorite chef on TH-cam. His passion food always shines through in his dishes!
Italian chef b a t t u r o is much better specially when it comes to pasta
Gennaro is this angel that shows his passion so well that I can almost taste and smell the dish just by watching him!
Love Gennaro, even the way he talks tells me whatever he’s cooking is going to be sooo delicious !
Delicious, delicious !
Nothing special. Oh, wait, that's because I'm Italian.
He probably hams it up for the camera.
It's funny because he has a mixed English and Italian accent.
I find him very warm and amusing to watch and he is a good chef. I love his wee sayings… slowly, slowly, slowly 🤣 oh my my my
I love how passionate he is at cooking! He pour his whole heart into it. Perfecto
the most common acting method they do in the videos. believe me, italians cook like most of us do. this is a show for the audience.
He says “naaa” and “abaat” like he’s from the East End of London. Switches back to Italian mode in an instant. Impressive that
That’s Jamie’s influence lol
@@sandradouglas4303 lol
Hes not actually Italian, his accent is really fake. Boo this man.
He is Italian but has lived in London since 1969, hence the classic London-Italian accent
Best mate of Jamie Oliver.
I guarantee the sheer enthusiasm and joy he radiates makes the food taste better
The senate well said my sir. Hear, hear!
“OH MY MY” I love it
My late mother came from Piemonte so added with the most passionate chef i have seen for a long your video had me smiling the entire time.

He is more than a cook or a chef or however you want to call him. He is a storyteller!
I can imagine the smell coming off the screen... absolutely starving. How wonderful Gennaro, thank you so much!
Gennaro is so passionate about cooking and life in general. It's good for the soul to watch his videos
A fantastic recipe, after years the best "bolognese" or "ragu" I made - thank you Gennaro, I love your cooking videos...
Second time I've done this recipe, I must say it is ridiculously good every time. This is the authentic bolognese recipe I've been searching for a long time. Thank you Gennaro! God bless you! 🙏🏼
complimenti, quanto buona è?🤤
Not authentic at all.Real one boils for hours,and it is made with milk as liquid.
I did it see any seasoning salt, pepper, herbs . Do you add any seasoning and if so what?
Does it take long?
@@OutragedPufferfishtraditionally cooked on low heat with lid on stirring every 10 minutes or so for 3-4 hours but you could make it quicker the longer it cooks the nicer it is 😊
You know he's an expert when he doesn't cook too much pasta
At least 120gr per person, that's my minimum!!!
No such thing as too much pasta
@@ItalianFoodBoss For me its more like 250-300g
Lars R i see no issue with your preferred amount of pasta!
Pasta has no flavor POTATO for da win
I love his English. "Nice grated of a parmesant" 😂
He's an Italian man who lives London. Jaime worked for him in the 1990's

I'm a simple man. I see Gennaro Contaldo, I upvote.
The entire atmosphere makes it even better
Watching Gennaro Contaldo cooking italian food is my antidepressant!....awesome 🙃
I love when Gennaro cooks alone. He's more relaxed that way 😊
I can feel his passion for cooking through the screen
His passion for cooking is so contagious
Shared this vid with my old man before he passed away. Always reminds me of him and his cooking ❤️ X
I don't know what it is, but I absolutely adore this man. He reminds me of family!
How the hell does this guy keep switching from Italian to an English accent every 5 seconds
J J Truly a master of cooking and speaking 😂

Oh Gennero....i hope you live forever!!! I just love youre emotions while youre cooking 😘....greets from Germany 😊
Finally, authentic bolognese. I love watching people cook.
Grazie Gennaro. (I hope someone passes this along)

Love Genarro, great chef, passionate cook and his recipes we can all manage. Big thanks !
It's awesome that italians created a whole Legend around just noodles with meat-tomato-sauce.
Because you've never eaten it
They also eat the most vegetables in Europe and live really, really long, especially in the "blue zones" of Italy where people live to over a hundred. But their meat and cheese is amazing as well as their dessert too, not just vegetables!!

It's the " OHHH MY MY!! " at the end for me. I loved that.
I hope he is well, if he`s living in northern italy or italy in general!!
He is well, he was on the tv with Jamie last night. He still lives in London. He's on twitter and instagram.
Incredible! I tried it and my family loved it, simply delicious
Yay ... I needed my weekly dose of Gennaro. I came to this channel for Jamie ... but I stayed for Gennaro!! Keep them coming Gennaro. You beautiful man you!
Every time I'm making Bolognese I return to this video, thank you for the delicious recipe!
I am an Italian in Brazil. I cried when he mount the plate. I swear that I smelled it.
Thank you Gennaro for your passion for food and your passion to share good food. Cooking great food for people and sharing it is a lifelong passion.
I’ve always appreciated his energy and passion!!
Passion. One easy, simple word to describe the hole video.
We love you Gennaro! I Amor de Italia! Dio Benedicci!
Ohh my why am I watching this in the middle of the night :(
Whyyyy huhu anyway what a fine jolly chef he is (as always)

I love him......
whyyyyyy!!!!???? whyyyyyy!!!!!!???????😂
Why am I......he is such an incredible man...This is such a great video for a Sunday morning...
5:27
This guy just love cooking, he was excited :D
This is the real recipe. No milk, no crap. Good job!
How can anyone do a bolognese better than an actual Italian, no one on earth!
The godfather of Italian cooking
Yet nobody in Italy has heard of him...
I love my grandparents more then anything, but sometimes i just wish they were italian lol
This bolognese is the absolute madness! SO DELICIOUS! But I have already had a tear in the eye that he has made the great food only for himself and nothing for the cameraman! haha
You have to love Gennaro... So few of such people left... Such character and enthusiasm :)
Its the dish that makes the world go round.
This is what I talkin about lol love this guy .
I say it as an Italian, this bolognese It looks like One of the most inviting ever seen!
@tfc a joke I hope?
@tfc how why ?
@tfc and what does this milk do!?
@tfc 😯😯😯 good idea!
I love this random spots to film.
god bless this generation of Italians!
Never heard such a combo of an English accent and an Italian accent at the same time. Hearing this as an American.
Gennaro is a giant among men. Only man I love more is Antonio Carluccio.
Both legends!
Both of them are totally unknown in Italy ... and I can argue why.
@@francopieracci2113 why
@@LK25278 because their audience - mostly americans - thinks that what Carluccio and Contaldo cook (or what is cooked in their restaurants) is traditional italian food. Believe me, it is not.
@@francopieracci2113 i dont really watch either of them, what chef would you recommend for traditional italian cuisine?
fandango Oh really?
Gennaro without Antonio Carluccio is like Stan Laurel without Oliver Hardy; RIP Antonio and congrats Gennaro on being strong!
You and your secret rosemary sprig at the beginning. WE SEE YOU AND YOUR LIES, GENNARO. WE WILL NOT BE BAMBOOZLED.
lol yes I seent it!
And it’s a whole branch!
My favourite comment for a while 🤣🤣🤣🤣
HOW TO MAKE BOLOGNESE AREA 51 STYLE
i added the sprigs of rosemary and this sauce came amazing. Yummy
Thank you I really enjoyed the whole video. I will try to cook this myself. Wish me luck.
Gennaro does everything with so much pasion
Gennaro is like the Mozart of cooking.
I love how passionate he is about his food. I’d give anything just to taste a forkful of this.
i think you get fooled by the scenery he is cooking in and those old looking pans. he didnt even use salt or pepper
@@gnutscha maybe not needed!
@@gnutschaHe had stock he wouldn’t need any more salt
Then just make it. 🤦🏻
Amazing! The recipe ive always wanted. The pasta water is so important
This is a man who put's all his hearth and soul into the food. I know what I'm making tomorrow. God bless, sir!
I love you Gennaro! Bless you!
i have a theory, hes so charismatic , i guess he is italian yet he lived in britain for years and his accent is a result of that, hes awesome though!
@John Gilmore No... 3:08, that was so funny to watch, we couldn't watch that in home Hahhahahaha
I have a theory, he’s definitely not Italian and is a fraud.
I love how he doesn't bother with some parsley on top
Who needs bitter parsley garnish when perfection is already made

Italian food is my faorite style of food, to eat and to cook!! amazing!!!!
Is it only me or he has a thick British accent hidden under his Italianess
sounds like a cockney accent. Very wiered lol
Aakash Arora he learned his English in England. It’s Jamie Oliver’s page.
A little bit
yes he lives in Britain for 20 yrs ...but went to Italy for a month >>He is who taught Jamie Oliver
He does the Italian accent to validate his cooking
buon appetitio delicioso ...enjoy simple cooking
Thank you for the inspiration. I will have to try this.
To be truly Italian, don't say "I will have to". Do it for your pleasure 😊
