This isn’t your Nonna’s bolognese; or maybe it is, we don’t know your Nonna! But this is the Home Movies Bolognese, Alison’s Bolognese, dare we say soon-to-be Your New Favorite Bolognese? Ground beef and pork simmer for hours with tomato, fennel, and onions-there will be no carrots (or celery) here-until a rich, luxurious and deeply satisfying ragu comes together. While long, squiggly, fusilli col buco is fun, so is rigatoni or bucatini, but there are no rules: feel free to toss this sauce with whatever pasta shape speaks to you.
And for dessert, please don’t forget Sweet Enough is now available wherever books are sold!

PSA: the correct amount of broth is *3 cups* as noted in the newsletter recipe and in the on-screen ingredient bubble! (I started with 2 and added another cup off-camera!)

As a person of Italian heritage, Alison, I 100% support your stand on fennel bulb in the Bolognese! It just adds so much more than celery does, and the seed gives the sauce a really distinctive "Italian flavour'. I use fennel bulb in my Bolognese, and gazpacho, as well as so many other dishes. It's a much under-appreciated veg in north America and deserves to get out more.😊

And she's back! In a beautiful sweater, no less. To answer your question about bolognese: the meat sauce is why men like to make it. The special ragù makes the dish feel more substantial. With meat, vegetables, dairy, and carbs all conveniently included in one dish, it's a self-contained meal. Plus, saying you cooked something that takes hours to make without too much heavy lifting is ideal for those looking to humblebrag.

I am fairly new to this channel. One thing I have noticed about Alison's recipes is that they are very well thought out. In this recipe, for example, she uses fennel instead of carrots and celery and uses fives times the amount of milk (and less water )that is traditionally called for in this recipe. I imagine this is done to tenderize the meat and also because water has no flavor and the extra milk is replacing what would normally be water.

Just made this. I let the sauce simmer on very low heat for 3 hours but there was a slight visible layer of oil. In this case, do you recommend I keep simmering? I used 7% lean beef, with whole milk, and stock. I used a little more olive oil to compensate for the lean beef. I also used a little less milk than advised. Wondering if the mean meat, or the less milk, or the extra olive oil had anything to do with the disruption of the emulsification process. I should have followed your recipe to a “T”… sorry, likely an annoying question being I did not. Any thoughts are appreciated. (I used about 1/3 cup olive oil in the browning process.
