It's a brilliant little recipe that sounds like it's from Genoa, but it's actually from Naples, and it's the other famous Ragu from Naples that you need to know about, so let's just jump right into it.

We chefs devote our time and basically our lives to our job and the food we make only to end up under-appreciated and some even under paid haha. The efforts you put into your videos are second to none, definitely worth my time . Nice to see cooking can be educative and informative this was so wholesome to watch

I made this tonight after seeing this video last night and it was unbelievable! What happens when the onions break down is like culinary magic. My daughter immediately announced that it’s her favorite pasta dish ever. Thank you for the inspiration and the videos. Damn that was a good meal!!

took me back in time when my mom used to wake up early and took all sunday morning to slow cook the genovese. Left an amazing smell in the house for the whole day. There are really few places outside of Naples where you can get a great genovese, it deserves to be more popular.

This guy is absolutely the best. Every time I see one of his recipes I get it. The building of flavor is excellent. Plus his way of prepping the vegetables with the knife is exactly like mine. Really, really great.

Just made this. Wow! This is a beautiful meal. It says love and comfort like no other pasta sauce. If you’re an inexperienced cook, it’s not hard. Just follow the instructions exactly, be patient. It took me 6 hours total prep and cook time. The last hour of simmering the sauce transforms into a silky smooth amazing sauce. Make this, you will be happier. If you make it for guests, they will feel very special.

Best channel with true italian recipes. From an Italian.

This is honestly one of the best constructed cooking videos I’ve seen. Aside from the delicious result, he was explaining each step of the way providing valuable knowledge and technique. Thank you for this I can’t wait to try it out myself!

[gabrielepumo]

Remember when he plated stuff on the cutting board? Man we’ve come a long way ❤

[RodSherwood]

I cook mine for 8-10 hrs, the onions liquify. If you like French Onion soup you will love the flavor of this sauce.

[jannie]

Steve, you are pretty darn good at making me hungry! I can tell you absolutely enjoy that pasta dish. The crust you develop on that beef is perfect, that is what gives that sauce the depth of flavor that holds up to the cheeses. Great recipe! Thanks for what you do!

[janpietraszewski]

Also make a big batch and freeze the rest you're not eating at once. This is THE ragù! I had it in Naples once - fell in love instantly

[markfox]

Man, this seems like one of the best sauces ever made. Can't wait to make this thanks brother!!!

I ate Genovese pasta in a famous Naples restaurant last June, and it was amazing. I smelled of onions for a couple of days, but it was worth it. during the same meal I also wolfed down what was probably the best bufala mozzarella of my life

It's late here in London, but when you stumble across somebody that is sooo good at their craft, it's simply impossible to imagine not watching until the end. Thank you for an entertaining and informative masterclass. I live on a farm, and I'm tempted to get up, go kill a cow, and start right now!

[slipperycman]

I’m having a pasta party at my house in a few weeks and I’m so excited everyone is making their own pasta dish and bringing it and we’re all gonna eat it and rate it not knowing who made what dish and whoever has the highest graded pasta at the end will win the pot of money everyone will throw in on lol I’m making your pepper pasta dish which is hands down my wife and I favorite Pasta ever hopefully everyone else likes it as much as we do lol

[PianoOwl]

Sounded to me like “ughhh I’m already crying” hahaha. So relatable😂.

[kbonics]

The reason a Genovese doesn't have tomatoes is because it was created before tomatoes was present in the Italian diet. The Onions is the emulsion medium with the carrot and celery. Add a little guanciale or salted pork, slow cook and the sauce will meld together ❤️

[ERey]

I love the real you went with the onion tears. No one really show that in their cooking shows, but it is something that happens to all of us.

[Duh_din]
