Italian Chef Reacts to Rachael Ray 3 Meat Bolognese Sauce 

Where you confuser by this recipe or is it me?

You are the only one I trust to make authentic Italian dishes my friend thank you for staying true to your roots 😊🤗👍👍👍👍👍

Every TV chef/cook needs Vincenzo as a guest star to show classic Italian food and what real passion for food looks like.

I always felt like Gordon and Rachel were pushing the wrong idea, because every time I try to make the Bolognese with wine and milk, it turns out ugly. And I struggled many times trying to control the process. But now I see that the ingredients have their own time and purpose, and some may not even be needed. Big relief for me. Thanks to Vincenzo!

The first mistake, was thinking, Rachael Ray, can cook. The producers know their audience.

Vincenzos Plate has such a dad energy, love your content ❤

Rachael Ray is the female Jamie Oliver. She knows her audience is soccer moms who shop at Walmart, not people looking for authentic recipes. Like Jamie, I don't think she is intentionally ruining anything, she's just doing what makes her money.

Vincenzo I’d love to see you on National TV teaching everyone the CORRECT way of the Italian Cuisine!

Here's my local man, Vincenzo, posting at midnight....and I'm still up to watch it!!

You deserve a national show of you're own! You are the best Vincenzo..❤️👍❤️

And if she puts peas 🫛 in it to, you got a perfect Ramsey recipe!😂 LOVE VINCENZO'S PLATE PER SEMPRE (4 EVER) !

Butter? Milk mixed with wine? Omg my family would never talk to me again!😂

That MILKSHAKE will DEFINITELY NOT bring the boys to the yard 😂😂

Rachelray always looks like she just finished a 24 pack of beers, you know my cat won't even eat the petfood line she makes for cats 😂 😂

Just wanted to say thank you Vincenzo,i recently discovered your channel and i cooked a few of your recipes.Buying some quality pasta and using the right technique really made all the difference,especially with the Carbonara.Thank you!

She specializes in quick and easy 30 minute meals - need we say more?

She’s your typical daytime talk show person. Pure entertainment, no substance.

Hahahahaha you’ve made my day when you see butter. 😂😂😂

I love this video. I have always suspected she was missing a few cards from her deck. Thanks for proving me right. You got yourself a subscriber!

Ciao Vincenzo! Your reaction videos always make my day, they're so funny! 😂 I can hear my Nonna "Ma che fai?!? Watsa matter for you?!?" 🤌🤦🏻‍♀️😂 Thank you for showing the world how Italian food is really made 🙏🏼🍝🇮🇹

It wasn't that long ago that grocery stores only stocked spaghetti, macaroni and lasagne (if they were fancy), you couldn't literally buy any other kind pasta. I think that is why many people still use spaghetti everything.

Your reactions are priceless and are cracking me up! 😂😂😂

Love the reacting video vincenzo love your content your a amazing RU-vidr I love watching your videos they are the greatest and the best and the coolest your content is the greatest and the best and the coolest it always brings a smile to my face watching your content your a amazing and fantastic cook vincenzo

I recently tried my Bolognese with De Cecco "Rotelle" and these are perfect imo, especially when you wanna avoid a mess when eating with small children😂 The meat is being kept between these small spokes and you can munch it away with a spoon - uncomplicated and delicious!

I like making home made ice cream. I can assure Rachel that there's a lot of recipes that use milk or cream that doesn't have nutmeg! As for why she's adding butter to everything, maybe she's now taking that mantel from Paula Dean (who when she was on Food Network was known as the butter queen).

I caught her show a few times back in the day. She was fun and cute . I'm pretty sure that is how she got her own show. Lidia's Italy was a much better show , plus she would go to different little towns in Italy . It made it such a great show. Unfortunately she was underrated.

It’s sad to think that if Rachael had used ketchup and ice cream in her dish, thousands of RU-vidrs would try it.🤣🤣🤣

Time is the secret ingredient in a Bolognese sauce. Around the 3-4 hour mark the Ragu changes completely. I recommend to everyone to try it at least once.

"why do you put butter in there?" Vincenzo, you crack em! 😂✌🏾

Vincenzo, you should be on TV. Thank you very much for sharing your reaction video with us.

Me like most Americans have never had authentic Italian food. Unless we are told different, we would just accept this. You really can’t blame us, this is what we’re told is authentic. It wasn’t until I started watching Vincenzo that I had any clue as to just how bad we had it.

Vincenzo should be invited to be judge on an episode of 'Chopped' that has RU-vid chefs, such as Joshua Weissman and Gugga, competing.

I love your passion, Vincenzo! The world deserves to see you cooking Italian food the right way.

I am by no means a "professional cook". I'm blessed to learn from RU-vidrs like yourself, Eva (Pasta Grammar) and many others. Authentic dishes, quick meals, budget meals, etc. If you ask me, chefs like Rachel Ray, G. Ramsey and a few others are simply good at marketing themselves. That's how they have gained such a big following. I am not a fan of any of them at all. They talk fast and they cook fast and they never taste their food when they done. If you're making a dish and claiming its an authentic dish, then make sure that is what you're making. If not, at least, have the respect, to say you're making a dish that is similar to an Italian dish and same for a dish from any culture.

Vincenzo, I think you should reach out, offer to make traditional bolognese for her. I would love to see it!

I love your reviews and recipes. Please keep it up! I hope to use the advise you have given me one day.

I'm learning so much from your channel!! Thank you from North Carolina. 👍

If i were a tv producer of a famous cooking show, I would definitely have you on the show. I'll pay for your for flight and accommodation for you and your beautiful family. Yes, getting more people aware of authentic Italian food is THAT important. I'm Asian and people butcher our food all the time and it breaks my heart.

Get your popcorn out this one is going to be hilarious!

I was at my mom's when this aired, we were both like, what in the hell is she doing, you should have heard my mother, an 86 year old Italian. Went and watched your friends Bolognese, now that had me drooling.

The ingredients were so secret, nobody told Bologna.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 laughed my ass off

I followed Vincenzo's recipe for Bolognese sauce, and it changed my life! Best wishes from Michigan, USA.

Vincenzo; you make me cry, I laugh so hard. Love you, man! Ciao! 🤣💚

I made your Bolognese today! Turned out delicious 🤤🤤🤤 I wanted to cook it for 5 hours, but had to feed my son before work. It was on for 4 1/2 hours, just enough. I used bogatini (sp) and it was really good!

Vincenzo, I made your Bolognese!! It was amazing and so easy 💯. RR in no way compares. Milk and wine??? 😝

And now that woman.... Showed us how to cook a traditional Italian dish!! 😅😅😅 No way!!!😂

Vincenzo you make the best videos about Italian cooking.

No words can describe how this recipe was constructed. No words…

LET’S GET THIS MAN A TV SHOW!!

My Nonna who was from Isola Del Liri near Frosinone really loved Rachel Ray. I don't exactly know why. I think it was her personality more than the food. I think she envisioned Rachel as what she would have been like if she was born in America instead of immigrating to America perhaps.

Great video! Love it! Thank you for this! ❤️👍❤️

With the order of milk, nutmeg and wine, Rachel is using the Marcella Hazan recipe - you add milk to the meat after it is browned and wait for it evaporate until only the fat is left. Then one adds the nutmeg and then the wine. I have read recipes for both red and white wine in the sauce. I agree that the bouquet garni and the stock is a bit too much. She is using too many ingredients and steps. Marcella Hazan was famous for bringing Italian cuisine to the American kitchen in much the same way Julia Child was for French. At the end of the day - there is no one recipe for Bolognese - but you are right Vincenzo that simple is best - and hers is not simple.

I remember watching this episode of Rachel Ray and I couldn't stop laughing. I use milk on my cereal in the morning, the only time I use white wine to cook is for fish, fowl or other lighter proteins. Beef, veal, pork all need a robust red wine. The sofrito is key and the meat is king. Maybe some tomato paste, a few plum tomatoes and a little sauce. That's it. By the way, Rachel said she used Parmigiano Rigeano but you can clearly see that that stuff was Kraft Parisan shake n fake cheese.

Lol I knew this would be a Slaughter fest! didn't disappoint. Have enjoyed a few of your recipes.

Sees Rachel get the milk bottle Me: Oh well here we go 🤣

I would save that term "Bolognaise" to distinguish the global lower quality version, from the original proper "Ragu alla Bolognese". That is the problem with home cook that doesn't learn further. When you create a ragout or ragu, you create a fond... that charred thing at the bottom of the pan. Then we pour liquid to de-glaze that fond, dissolving that flavour with solvent liquid, either water or alcohol. Milk, cream, or butter will easily get burned and might worsen that charring. The Academia della Cucina documents that ragu alla Bolognese also include a lot of weird things: chicken liver and nutmeg to season the meat. Plus, also cream at the end. I never followed it, I just followed yours or Gennaro Contaldo's or that Italia Squisita / Giallo Zafferano - who often invited famous real Italian chefs to write their recipes. That product in the end, really looks like the definitive English-speaking country's "spag bol" - the same thing we find in Pizza Hut or American mall - reminded me of that Italian-American wrestler Hulk Hogan (Terry Bollea) Pastamania serving. But at least with the sofrito base, it should more or less taste like real Bolognese than most global interpretation of the Bolognaise sauce. The problem is, Ragu alla Bolognese for me is divine, complex, and taste expensive (exquisite according to my friends) - it should be Alfa Romeo or Maserati. But for a lot of people who never tasted the authentic sauce, most of us know it from its Americana version like that "spag bol", it felt like a Fiat - an everyday food that is just okay, a throwaway food if you don't feel like it. I am disappointed when my friend suggests that they wanted "Carbonara" (the popular fake version with cream) or "Pesto" (also the fake version that has the oregano smell), than alla Bolognese during our special celebration. This is because people are already got bored with "Bolognaise", and "more modern" introduction of aglio olio (I use this term instead of "aglio e olio" to separate the fake ones from the authentic), carbonara, or pesto are something that is at least "new" to them. The simpler carbonara or pesto are indeed good, but these dishes are simpler to make, highly dependent on the quality of its ingredients, and they can't be compared against the real Bolognese, at least people who I introduced to the Bolognese can finally agree. People don't just react to a Maserati the same way they react to a Fiat.

I imagine it doesn't matter that she used 3 meats any longer after she used that stock and the spaghetti not only there s no surface for the sauce to stick they re buttered up to make for the sauce extra hard to stick on them, although this made me want to do it properly myself so I shall indulge with your recipe Vincenzo :D

Food Network needs to showcase Vincenzo’s Plate on your own show!

In Rachel's defense, it looks like she's basing her bolognese on Marcella Hazan's recipe from The Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking. Marcella cooks her soffritto in butter, adds milk before the wine, and uses nutmeg. No herbs though, and she does recommend tagliatelle.

Easy and simple cooking by changing the recipe is no different from poor construction. You can build buildings quickly. But I hate to imagine what will happen next

Hahahaha this is your best reaction yet!

Bravo vincenzo sei la nostra salvezza.

This is disaster. I make Bolognese Sauce like I saw you make it in your video and everyone love it! Vincenzo's Plate has the best recipes of Italian cuisine. Greetings from Croatia Vincenzo! 🙂

Sorry I have to disagree, using beef stock actually does enhance the beef (meat) flavor of the bolognese, the meat is the star, right? Not only that but I actually made a sauce that my dad could eat using less tomato sauce and more stock so as not to affect his acid reflex disease.

I think she did the pasta early because she already had the sauce prepared as the show was live (as so it appears). Then, they swap it out for the one she just made on camera.

Bravo Vincenzo!! I'm glad you stood up to her! Not many people do. She is horrible.

I have never taken Rachel Ray seriously. Just another tv personality with a gimmick.

I am not a fan of hers and loved this review! I’ve made yours and it’s delicious!

The screaming groundhog is the perfect reaction 😂

Sir, as an internet student of yours for a long time, I lost my mind watching her make penne vodka which turned out to be vodka sauce soup.... It is so therapeutic watching you lose you mind to this... I have no idea how she is so famous! My bolognese needs at LEAST 3 hours of simmering , though I usually do 4 to 5 hours... This is madness!!!

Rachael Ray is one of the most uninformed incompetent chefs on TV! What Oprah saw in this lady I can’t for the life of me figure out ? 😂😂

Mama Mia the horror. The original Italians will have 💔

idk why people love to destroy a classic dish when the dish is not their cultural dish.. its disrespectful! when its not your culture, just embrace it and celebrate it, dont change it

Perhaps Rachel used the recipe from Marcella Hazan. She wrote "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking" Her recipe does add milk before wine. She also uses nutmeg.

milk softens the meat you wont taste it this gal knows her onions sorry chef

I think the reason why these classic recipes are getting butchered so bad is that the modern cook believes they have to make the recipes “their own” because following tradition is boring and outdated. It is a sad reality.

You're sooo awesome , sir 🦋💜💚💜💚

You are the man Vincenzo!

I will follow you - Vincenzo - I know you are authentic - you offer - history, tradition and love -

Never understood the meaning of Mappazzone till I watched this😂😂😵‍💫 i love this type of videos you make 🫰🏻

HI VINCENZO; JUST THINK ABOUT IT.......THIS LADY IS A MILLIONAIRE......AND SHE COULN'T SHINE YOUR SHOES....ITS WHO YOU KNOW....NOT WHAT YOU KNOW.....THANK GOD THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU IN THIS WORLD THAT CAN SHOW PEOPLE THE CORRECT WAY.....LIKE YOU SAID....WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO CHANGE A NONNA'S RECIPE??????

I don't know who does your editing but it is so good with your ractions!

My mom taught me “meat sauce” when I was young. I’ve added your touches and it’s the best comfort food next to polenta.

Are you making a milkshake Rachael Ray? 😂 I have yet to make bolognese but I guarantee when I do it will be following your recipe and not hers. LOL

When I was going through chemo and radiation back in 2001, I used to tune into her 30 minute meals to feel better about myself

Mr. Vincenzo, many time Rachel has said that she got most of her recipes from her Mother. Like I learned from my Mom.

Bolognese is definitely my favorite sauce for pasta. Love the meat, love how cheap it is to make, and especially love how easy it is to make in very large batches. To be fair, I don't make mine the traditional way, but it's only for me, so I think that's fine, and the only 2 things I add that are not in typical bolognese is garlic with the meat, because I love the taste of garlic, and chili flakes, to give just a little bit of spiciness.

I think Vincenzo could have easily been an actor 😅 so funny reaction vid 😂 just like that joke of a pasta recipe by Rachel

Sei propio furbo , seniore 😂 go for the gold 👌🏼👏🏻🍷😉

I cringed at the milk part 😂😂

Your editing skills are great

I think the spaghetti thing is just the type of pasta we were used to or could get. We are not Argentina or Chicago or New York, but in Panama we got many italian families. They established their restaurants, (which I REALLY appreciate because the pizza I got used to since a child was the real deal, not some huts or dominoes thing), and even now in those restaurants bolognese is still served with spaghetti, not papardelle or anything flat. But as for short pasta, sure, we get bolognese with that too.

Oh my goodness! Vincenzo , I made your sauce(following your video) and it was amazing! Rachel's sauce seems --well, I would have to try it (I don't want to)--Wrong. Thank you for what you do. I'm going to make myself some real Bolognese --I'm going to follow along with your video again.

😂 would have loved to see David from Bologna reaction 😅😂

The Video from David and You should be shown in schools, so kids can learn how a proper Bolognese is made. I made a somewhat traditional Bolognese before with no extra fancy stuff, but the thing about the cooking time and adding hot water every hour or so just made it next level. Best Bolognese I ever had in my life.

Id love to see you make some of these and do a taste test, That could be kind of fun

I'm Italian born and raised and of course my mother is also, the very first time she saw Rachel on TV she said that Rachel tries, but she really doesn't know everything about Italian cooking, and mixes everything up. She actually called her a messy cook, because she mixes and messes everything up. She should be booed, not applauded for ruining a dish that's been prepared by generations of Italians.!

3:03 There actually was a woman….Marcella Hazan. She was born in Emilia Romagna. She came to the US and was considered the Julia Child of Italian cooking. I saw on another channel someone making a recipe of hers that was a tomato sauce with butter. Not sure if she would do that with a ragu….but it’s out there.
