One-Pot Weeknight Pasta Bolognese | America's Test Kitchen (S24 E11)

Can't wait to try this, looks delicious. You mentioned it had plenty of salt—did I miss where the salt was added?

It’s still going to be better the next day. That’s when you add the pasta.

I want to hug Bridget’s big butt❤

Love the dark hairs

Wondering why there’s no crushed , diced or even pureed tomatoes in this sauce. I mean the tomato paste is nice, but this isn’t the bolognese I want. This is more like beef bourguignon sauce.

I served this, thankfully just to myself. Not the best ATK on here IMHO. Here's my issues/fixes; $9 for pancetta for weeknight meal? Wow. For the flavor and addition not worth it. Use a strip or 2 of bacon and save the greasy mess in your food processor, along with that most grocery stores stock prepared mire poix eliminating the processor altogether. This was begging for some simple depth of flavor, add one minced garlic clove with beef, 2 bay leaves, dash of ground clove, 2 splashes of Worcester before simmering. Cut the wine in half, please, all cooked off it was off putting. Pls go ahead and cut the broth in half and cook pasta separately, much better. Best of luck and I do love the videos.

Looks delicious! Another recipe I will be trying. ATK has some of the best recipes I’ve tried a lot of them!

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Vincenzo… where are you? Pls tell them to STOP!!!!

No garlic?

Thank you for your content

What changes could u make to use ground turkey /chken broth instead of beef?

just get some noodles, ground bees and beef stew seasoning pack

I agree with @ChrisChapmanIAm about the time. When I made this dish it took 2 hours, but would have benefitted by simmering another couple of hours. For a weeknight dish, make this a few days ahead of time so you only have the heat the sauce and then stir in freshly cooked pasta.

Anybody got the ingredients list for this one?

It would be good if you could list out the measurements of the ingredients below all your videos.

As a TV personality Erin is a little too intense but her recipes are always excellent.

For People that enjoy cooking and good food please avoid this one. I wonder sometimes why demos like this get posted. (???)

Yummy

$400 Dutch oven, $20 per pound Pancetta, and $10 per pound ground beef. Yeah, this is just what struggling middle America needs to be told to cook for their family. What a crock of bullshit ! PRETENTIOUS !

Hamburger helper with sacrilegious extra steps...

That looks like Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff.

Full hair updo for a cooking tutorial … that is commitment

👍👍👍

Yum!

I really cook from scratch 28 days a month. I love it- most of the time. But I LOVE that this recipes creates depth of flavor in a short time - and 1 pot cooking is the best! Thanks again for a delicious and quality recipe!

I don't know how many people can make this after work, on a weeknight... Children cannot wait that long, for sure.

This is so not a weeknight meal. This is 3 hours of prep, cook, eat, wash.

Bolognese sauce requires a minimum of 4 hrs cooking time. You made a ragu but not Bolognese ragu

One-pot meal using so many gadgets that need to be cleaned. Great.

A way to save even more time is to make that sofrito-pancetta paste on the weekend and freeze it in batches. Come time to prepare dinner, all you have to do is grab some from the freezer and put it in the pot!

This is more like Beef Stroganoff. Italian-American's Bolognese sauce has more tomato in it.

Closer to a Beef Stroganoff than Bolognese sauce. Jmo

That Bolognese look good but I would have to have it vegan style because I'm vegan but that meat sauce did look good yum

Ridiculous version of a "weeknight "meal, chopping , then using a food processor , what do you think we are?born yesterday?

Sorry, but this is not a weeknight recipe. it might be faster than the original, but it's still hours of work?

Isn't pasta supposed to be al dente? I don't see how you could get it al dente by cooking it this way and have the right amount and consistency of the sauce.

I wonder if you could use bacon instead of pancetta.

This works with ground turkey and mushrooms too.

Call it something else but you can't call it Bolognese. Just call it Meat Sauce.

We love noodle dishes like this, but the Bride has Celiac Disease and we have a difficult time finding Gluten-Free Pasta for her.

Any chance you could do a test of what's out there and give a recommendation?

"a mistake people make is browning the meat...toughening and drying out the beef" 😂

That can't be true.

When I make authentic Bolognese I give the meat a very hard sear in batches, then add it all back to the pan/pot, get it frying again and add my white wine which is the tenderiser. My Bolognese sauce is extremely smooth with no chunks at all.

Just make a giant batch, freeze most of it so all you need to do is boil pasta and defrost/heat the sauce.

I’m on board for this except for the Parmesan in the sauce. Instead I would take an extra 15 minutes to add three quarters of a cup of heavy cream and let it incorporate into the beef mixture, then add the beef broth and water. I also think the is a bit heavy on the pepper, but that 8s easily rectified.

I’m sorry but even a real bolognese has tomatoes and milk.
Change 5he name. Leave the original alone. 😢

Yum.

No, the solution to making bolonese sauce 'quickly' on a weeknight is to make it the "proper" way at the weekend. Just make a lot of it. Reheat during the week with freshly cooked pasta. Bolognese sauce only gets better with time.

I’m a little surprised that early addition of cheese didn’t burn

I love AMTK but this recipe is an Italian nightmare
