Part 2 – Lasagna alla Bolognese (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The ragù is finished. Now, the problem is completely different. Making great lasagna is not just about adding enough filling. It’s about managing moisture. Fresh pasta continues to absorb liquid while the lasagna bakes. The béchamel sauce thickens further in the oven. The gelatin in the ragù firms as the finished lasagna rests. Parmigiano absorbs moisture while adding protein and fat.Therefore, if each component looks perfectly thick before assembly, the final lasagna will likely be too dry. Thi
Part 1 – Ragù alla Bolognese (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The moment you start treating ragù alla Bolognese like generic meat sauce, it becomes less interesting. The temptation is always to add something else: Garlic. Herbs. More tomato. Stock reductions. Parmigiano rinds. Mushrooms. Anchovies. Butter.This ragù doesn’t need more ingredients. It needs better control. The process is as follows: render pork, brown beef in pork fat, make a soffritto, recombine, add white wine, add restrained tomato, add broth, add milk, and simmer for a long time.The goal
Casoncelli with Kabocha, Brown Butter & Sage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The usual formula ( pumpkin, ricotta, Parmesan, butter, and sage ) can easily meld into one soft, sweet, buttery flavor. The filling lacks definition and the sauce repeats the same flavor as the filling. By the third or fourth raviolo, what initially felt luxurious starts to feel heavy. This version was designed specifically to avoid that.The Kabocha squash appears twice, but in two completely different forms. One is concentrated enough to create a rich, structured filling. The other is transfor
Spaghettoni with Roasted Garlic Cream, Parmigiano & Black Pepper (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Garlic pasta becomes uninteresting surprisingly quickly when the only objective is to make it taste strongly of garlic. The more garlic you add, the heavier the sauce becomes. Blend enough cooked garlic into pasta and you eventually stop creating an emulsion and start coating the strands in purée. The flavour may be intense, but the texture becomes dense and the palate tires after a few bites. This recipe takes the opposite approach. Instead of asking how much garlic we can put into the sauce, w
Fettuccine Alfredo with Parmigiano & Shiitake (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alfredo is one of the simplest pasta dishes you can make. But that simplicity is exactly what makes it difficult. When the ingredient list is limited to butter, Parmesan cheese, pasta, and pasta water, a poor emulsion is impossible to hide. If the cheese overheats, it tightens and becomes grainy. If there isn’t enough water, the sauce will be pasty. If the temperature drops too far, the Parmesan may never disperse completely. If the butter separates, the sauce goes from silky to greasy in second
