Hi Marion, love your video's and recipe's, and I recommend it to friend's.
watching from UK. always x
ahah when she said stick it lol
I was on a bus trip around Australia one time, and I put my hand up to help the cook. She made bolognese one night, and put NO MEAT in it! It was completely eggplant instead. I was shocked – but we were the only ones who knew, and you couldnโt tell there was no meat.
I've been doing something rather interesting lately. I've been making oat porridge and making it asian, with sesame oil, soy sauce, chilli, coriander, sping onion and eggs! It's really good and wonderful for your insides!
Bottom line, everything with hot sauce, and lots of it.
What is tomato passata? Can I skip it if I just use canned tomatoes?
I m Italian, I love your pasta bolognese. Great
Making the Bolognese tonight!
i looove the way you own your unique cooking style
Hello there from Central Mexico!! I am a Chef specializing in Classical Mexican Cuisine but I do cook everything else, love Thai and all Asian dishes! Wanted to write to tell you about my "cheat" for Lasagna in case you don't find Ricotta, which used to happen a long time ago, so I use plain old Cottage Cheese, add 2-3 eggs, salt & pepper any additional spices you like and some melting cheese on top, now I don't beat it so much since it won't matter so just bring it all together and use as a regular Bechamel layer in the dish. This will firm up with the baking and you'll get a nice even creamy layer to your lasagna, of course, Parmesan Cheese and do your layers as regular… hope you try it.
Eggplant is a great idea! Trying this tomorrow ๐
Itโs so good to see you again – Marion – welcome back! You are delightful and I love your creative ideas in your recipes – you are unique and stand out amongst all the other chefs. Thank you for sharing your cooking secrets – canโt wait to try them. Your Mom and children are adorable as well. โคfrom Canada
That leftover roll up dish is a great idea! I'm not particularly fond of cottage cheese ๐ฌ so I'd probably substitute ricotta but otherwise that looks delicious!
There are ragus all over Italy, the bolognese is just the most famous. So while we might not be able to call it a "proper" bolognese, it's still a totally legit ragu and I would smash it 100% if I ate meat. Might have to make it with lentils or a minced veg mix. ๐คค
For me here in the Philippines, I use canned Spanish sardines and infuse it Creamy herb and garlic pasta sauce with lots of cheese and fried garlic and chili flakes. One of my most requested pasta creations โคโคโค
love asian-style pasta bc no lactose ๐ (except for cheese)

I โve been adding soya sauce to so many dishes over the years, including Italian. It takes it to the next level and my kids love it as well! Try adding it to Indian meat marinades as well, sensational. Thanks Marion ๐๐๐

My secret ingredient for a great bolognese is fish sauce ๐ try it before you knock it.
Yes thats pasta your way alright, because the Bolognese bdauce absolutely has no garlic whatsoever.
Being Italian i kinda feel as I was the keeper of the holy graal of pasta ๐… However… Pasta is such a flexible base to work on, that will be good with more or less everything and everyone (except French and Germans ๐๐) can cook it the way they feel.
Way to go girl! โค
Made the first recipe tonight but replaced the eggplant with a sweet potato & a little capsicum, because that is what I had, and so delicious! Will definitely make your way from now on, thank you โบ๏ธ
My daughter found out that I put brinjal in the mince when she was in her twenties. Told me I was a bad parent as she does not eat brinjal and I lied to her. She now does the same to her children. Circle of life.
where did u get your chopping board? the white with bits of color (tomato garlic butter pasta)
Poor Vincenzo, he's gonna have a heartattack over 'his' Italian cuisine not being made per decree ๐๐๐คฃ
That said, I love your creativity! And this all just seems so yummy ๐คค never had a recipe of yours fail me (well… maybe spice wise, but I'm Dutch our traditional food has NO spice, Nothing! ๐๐ and now since that I'm cooking for myself, ive been experimenting and trying to up my tolerance ๐ youtube is absolutely amazing for getting to know different cuisines around the world and trying to recreate all kinds of dishes โค channels like these, that respect traditions, but aren't afraid to adjust and be creative (especially for people still getting to know certain foods, traditional levels might be too much of a 'new experience' ๐ having certain other creative options is great!)
Marion, are the cutting board from your lineโ If not, can you share where you got them, the pink marble and the multi coloured polka dot looking one. Thank you.
I totally get the star anise – My brother accidentally put 5 spice in our Bolognese once and it was actually very good ๐๐ฝ
made your bolognese tonight! added spinach on top of the sauce at half time… and red pepers… It was a win for my son!!! Parmegiano reggiano on top made it the bomb!!! Thank you for this deliscious recepie! and yes i added soy sauce!
You can also cook eggplants the way Italians do, by frying them until golden like you would in a puttanesca. Theyโll be sweet and feel like meat bits. Add them just before serving.
Love the clever ways you created to use leftover bolognese, definitely want to give that a try. Also love the other recipe of fresh pasta with tomato, butter, garlic with an Asian touch. Both winners, thank you Marion, you are the best!
Note: your kids are adorable!
I could eat 4Xs the amount of Bolognese Marion had.
Leftovers ๐โค yum ๐.
Eggplant never tried it, good idea ๐ก๐.
I haven't eaten eggplant before. I think it's the look that doesn't appeal to me, but I liked the way it melted down in this video. Maybe this might be a good way of introducing eggplant to my taste buds. ๐ค๐๐
I love your chopping board, is it available online?
My Italian boyfriend has just left his body in disbelief ๐
Mum likes a foreigner
