Hi Marion, you know what? During this stay home time, my boys (12 and 10) found your channel and started following your recipe to cook by themselves. They already tried the miso pasta, 4 ingredients spare rib etc, they are watching your channel every day. I think you have just inspired two young boys to cook. I am especially thrilled that they like to cook Asian goods. They were born in America. We are Asian and they love Asian foods too. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work!

I’m not pregnant but I crave bolognese every week 😁

Till the baby comes the whole channel is named, Marion's cravings 😂

I too add my Indian touch to my spaghetti by adding dried bay leaves and red chilli powder and even little bit of coriander powder. 😬😬

Made it tonight (all beef as my husband doesn’t eat pork) and it was SO The lemon really shines through and I can’t get over how every noodle was truly coated in the sauce. I honestly can say it’s my favorite bolognese I’ve ever made - and I’m Italian!!

When I cook spaghetti, it’s also asian style. We put soya sauce and sugar and lots of garlic. So it’s umami and sweet, with lots of beef too. I grate the carrots instead

Coming here 2 years later to say this has been my go-to Bolognese sauce for the past year. I use Chinese five spice powder instead of individual star anise and other little whole spices that could take time to fish out after cooking. I make it in large batches and put it in the freezer it is always delicious when reheated

[MALTHEMASTERBARBER]

I respect that you say from the outset that it’s not traditional Bolognese sauce! What I like was your development of the beef ! Way better than Gordon Ramsay!

10 seconds in u see the dried chilies and the bay leaves and I'm like "HECK YEAH! THIS IS MARION STYLE!"

Love the videos! Also, congratulations on the baby!

I absolutely swear by saucing the pasta this way rather than putting plain pasta in a bowl and pouring sauce over. This is such a game changer in terms of the flavor of the dish. I also no longer drain my pasta in a colander but fish out with a slotted spoon or drag over long spaghetti with tongs.

Such a lovely correlation between your mum’s cravings and now yours, Marion, thank you for sharing. And you are simply radiant.

I always love a little of the asian touch you put into your recipes!!! keep them coming, i love your fusion pastas as well

I finally made this. After I made them, we ate it for dinner and it was okay. I have a lot of leftovers, so I brought it the next day for my lunch at work and still okay. I came home and kids haven’t eaten the one I left for them. So I brought it again for lunch at work and this time, it tasted great. The meat and the spaghetti finally absorbed the sauce. My co workers who ate this with me for two days, really loved it. I will definitely be making this again and eat it on the third day. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Since i"ve been watching Marion and Mama Noi cooking i "ve always put chili"s on everything.
Congratulations with your baby

Made this recipe today and it was the best pasta dish I've ever made! I normally opt for jar pasta sauce but they never taste as good. Only few things I modified: I didn't add the ground pork, only used 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, used red pepper flakes, added butter with 1/4 cup of milk for more creaminess, and didn't add in lemon zest, and white pepper. Just felt lazy to add extra ingredients and I only had ground beef on hand so the portion was perfect. But overall, this recipe is very customizable to your taste. The soy and star anise really made the sauce savory and has more depth! Will definitely make again!

[cinematicrecipe]

Tried this recipe today. Highly recommended. Star anise really brings out the beef taste. Amazing.
