How to make Bolognese | Gennaro Contaldo | Italian Special

You asked for it so we had to give it! Gennaro’s bolognese, this is one hell of a recipe that is worth every minute of love, care, and attention. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed!

Gennaro in Italy
Over the coming months we will be posting a series of Gennaro’s recipes from Italy, some of which you, the audience, have specifically asked for and others are Gennaro doing what the Italians do best – sourcing good ingredients and making simple, bold dishes with little effort and time involved.

Rather than cut these videos right down, we have left them a little longer and kept them relaxed. We think watching Gennaro in Italy is a glorious thing, and Gennaro does such a great job at being both inspiring and entertaining. So sit back and enjoy these as they roll out – we would love to know what you think.

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

Gennaro is quite possibly my favorite chef on YouTube. His passion food always shines through in his dishes!

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 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.

You know he's an expert when he doesn't cook too much pasta

[John-qlwo]

He says “naaa” and “abaat” like he’s from the East End of London. Switches back to Italian mode in an instant. Impressive that

[BrotherTree]

I can imagine the smell coming off the screen... absolutely starving. How wonderful Gennaro, thank you so much!

[wayfaringrider]

A fantastic recipe, after years the best "bolognese" or "ragu" I made - thank you Gennaro, I love your cooking videos...

[nickc]

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! 🙏🏼

[Drakonpaul]

I love his English. "Nice grated of a parmesant" 😂

[thesenate]

I guarantee the sheer enthusiasm and joy he radiates makes the food taste better

[AslanW]

Gennaro is so passionate about cooking and life in general. It's good for the soul to watch his videos

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.

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 :)

He is more than a cook or a chef or however you want to call him. He is a storyteller!
