He’s the first man to proudly defend a bolognese sauce skin at the Dish table… This week Nick and Angela are joined by comedian, actor, and podcaster, Joe Wilkinson!
Joe is known for his deadpan humour and comedic roles in shows such as After Life, Him & Her, Taskmaster, and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. This year, he’s switching things around as he stars as the romantic lead, alongside Keira Knightley, in the Waitrose Christmas advert. Joe also hosts his own podcast, Chatabix, alongside long-time collaborator David Earl.
Joe’s dream meal? His own bolognese! Which means Angela has her work cut out for her as she serves up her version of the ultimate comfort classic. The meal is paired with a glass of Villa Antinori for Nick and Angela and a Zeno Alcohol-Liberated Red for Joe, following a non-alcoholic Italian Spritz to start.
Beyond the bolognese, Joe opens up about his newfound love of carrot cake, his deep distrust of raisins (especially when disguised in a flapjack), and his surprisingly sweet approach to on-screen kisses, even when they involve Keira Knightley.

Would have liked to have seen a glass of red wine in that yummy recipe.
Love the lighter hair on Angela
.
Mine only has tomato sauce and herbs- i feel bad now, this looks yummy
Lost me at rosemary. Minging
For a sec I thought Ange was going to take a swig from the wine bottle 🤣
Mushrooms aren’t in bolognese and you shouldn’t use spaghetti
Not. Anything. Close to Italian. Absolutely. A no definitely. No no no milk. Gross sauce
Angela has the BEST laugh!!!
Soffritto? Is that not a mirepoix?
Is that the postman "pat" from the Ricky Gervais show
Should've used the liquid from the mushrooms for more flavour
Why do the vegetables first and meat after?
Stopped watching at mushrooms…ydirty get
Disclaimer : not a proper bolognese and wrong type of pasta for ragu
Angela looking fiiiiine in this video.
I was taught to brown it all down before you deglaze that pan. Cook it hard and long.
This looks amazing.. ❤
For those who watch Bake Off, Martha Collison was the 17yo from series 5 who got through to the quarter finals. Incredibly talented and was Graham Norton’s radio show’s resident chef/baker.
Pretty cool to see a Michelin star chef using her recipe
trying not to comment
Angela has a great set of norks
Just salt and pepper and a sprig of fresh Rosemary that's going to get boiled away from that long simmer ? Must taste bland af.
If you were Italian you would know We don’t NEVER put spaghetti with bolognese how many times !!!
Fraud
I didn’t see tomatoes going in , only paste ?
Instead of topping it up with water as the last step, you should have put in that brown mushroom water the mushrooms had been soaking in.
Angela's sylist. Good job
Hair hanging all over the food
No milk😮!! It's a sin
Needs more tomatoes
No tomatoes?
I used this base recipe for a mashup between your bolognaise and Nigella’s tortilla lasagna as I had some Mollica durum wheat wraps in the cupboard. I didn’t have mushrooms but used smoked back bacon, added a teaspoon of German mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Absolutely stunning.
Don't tell the Italians!!!!!! 😂
Milk?
the minute she said pork and beef, i knew angela's a real one because that's exactly the advice my grandmum gave for dumplings. it just tastes better.
milk, water into "seared dish" : best bolognese !! when American have low standards , maybe the best !! Please research Italian cuisine beforehand
So no tomato?
