New York Times Top 50 Recipes of 2025 | Spicy, Creamy, Weeknight Bolognese by @nytcooking @genevieve_ko
– Salt and pepper
– 1 lb ground beef (at least 20 percent fat)
– 1 large onion, diced
– 2 carrots, diced
– 2-3 tbsp red curry paste
– 15-ounce can tomato sauce
– 1 lb pasta, save pasta water
– 1cup heavy cream
Heat a large heavy pot over high heat and add the beef, breaking it up into small pieces and seasoning with salt and pepper; cook until browned and cooked through (4-5 min). Push the beef to one side and add the onion and carrots to the rendered fat, season, and cook until the onion is translucent (5 min). Stir in the curry paste and cook until darkened and fragrant, then add the tomato sauce, swishing a bit of water in the can to get it all into the pot. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and let it cook while the pasta boils until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water, then add the drained pasta to the sauce, stir in the cream, season to taste, and loosen with pasta water if needed before serving hot.

Are there any healthy recipes?
Instead of curry paste, add miso. Umami rush.
I would imagine miso paste would work brilliantly here
Stop with the heavy cream madonna mia!!! "To balance out the spiciness" use less spices
Why have I never thought of using curry paste like this?
Why does every American pasta recipe seem to add cream!!
That is NOT bolognese
You use lot of word to say Chili Mac
Where’s the wine? And a real bolognese calls for milk, not cream. Sure, call it meat sauce, but it’s not bolognese
Classic cultural appropriation they don't talk about.
Why do Americans insist on pronouncing Bolognese so revoltingly? It's not "byolōgñésë"
Id say the doesn’t belong ingredient is the onion that has no business being in there just use onion powder no need for gross ass onions to be in any recipe
Calling macaroni shaped pasta noodles and using it in bolognaise is an abomination, do not ever recommend this channel to me again
This fucking obsession with calling pasta noodles!!
I've been calling my water names for 20 minutes now but it doesn't seem insulted yet – am I doing something wrong?
You had me until 'heavy cream', why do americans put heavy cream in everything, why do you hate pasta
The city of Bologna Italy has the recipe on their website and it's much better than anything from the nyt.
Those 'cooks' just care about being trendy and that is where weird ingredients come in.
Frying the tomato concentrate and a splash of Worcestershire sauce will also make it taste way better, the curry paste is just weird
wtf is this ,… not bolognese.
