  1. Prepared this for the family yesterday. Honestly it seemed too simple but i was shocked at how delicious it turned out. so many spices i excluded and it turned out better than my old recipe. Thank you Chef.

  2. I've always been in to cooking. Recently hit the point where the things Marco is saying make a ton of sense. This guy seriously knows how to cook. It's impressive.

  3. I'm going to try this, but I think serving it 4 days after I cooked it is perhaps not exactly realistic if you're just making a bolognese to eat at home not at a Michelin star restaurant. I'm curious to see how it compares to my recipe I use with 4 kinds of tomatoes and a bit of worcestershire sauce.

  4. @MarcoPierreWhite: In grating the veg to get the water out and having them dissolve – would they dissolve better if they were run through a processor then strained in cheesecloth? AND could you then use the water/juices in your stocks? Thank you for your input, Chef Marco. -Regards

  5. Why in the over for a few hours? I'm from Bologna and I make ragù all the time with my grandma. We gently cook it in the pot on the stove for 4-5 hours. She always says that hours of cooking make the difference.

  6. I could literally smell the bolognaise sauce through my screen, that's how good it looked… damn Marco, you making me hungry right after lunch!

  7. I worked as chef then went into construction when I had a family.. still able to hone my skills.. I still love cooking but home cooking real kitchens are not good for your mental if you have young family

  8. Good to know that if i ever meet my chef mentor i can cook him his favourite dish on account of being 100% from Bologna.

  9. this is not bolognese it is a tomato sauce. a big disquisting tomato sauce. there is no way one can devolopet this to use pasta stock and cheese to a blend of silky sause that is good for disgearure. awfull recipy

  10. maybe he is decent frecnh cook with butter and cream . but he is certainaly not a italian one . italian is very very different from french .
    italian is al baout NOT over ingenior cooking . put a lot of ingredians . it is all about restrain . few fresh ingredians no fuzz not crea,m not butter, no stock just pasta , chesee and pasta water . thats it . no pepper no salt no whine no nothing.
    just work with pasta . pasta wahter and chese . add it time and time til you have perfect blend.

  11. Scientist: The body can only endure 3-4 days without water. It's essential for survival.
    Marco: No. No water content.

  12. He did not cook the bolognaise. It cooked itself. The bolognaise chose to be cooked 🍝
