Samin Nosrat is back in the NYT Cooking Studio Kitchen to teach you how to make her “lazy” sugo, a recipe from her new cookbook, “Good Things.”

“Lazy” is a relative term, but this rich meaty sauce is a combination of pork and beef that’s simmered until tender and shreddable. There’s no soffrito to chop and fry, no need to brown the meat and no deglazing: This sugo comes together easily and offers a big reward.

Samin also shares her tips for perfectly saucing a big bowl of pasta. Pro tip: Preheat your pasta bowl with the leftover pasta water so your sauce doesn’t seize up.

  1. We once had Pasta Bolognese in Bologna and it was the most scrumptious sauce we’d everrrr tasted! it had not a speck of minced meat… I have since searched high and wide for the method and recipe and you just nailed it!! Bravo Samin!!

  2. Another good way of making lazy sugo is just buying frozen soffritto and skipping all the prep work. The difference is almost nonexistent (unless you or your guests have a really fine palate)

  3. Samin, I love the energy and personality, however 😂 you are endeavouring to make Bolognese Ragu. Sugo is not a “meat sauce“. Your dish looked lovely however, butter and chilli flakes need not to apply. Again lovely personality and great video, but the whole premise of the title is incorrect. You were trying to make Ragu, typical of Bologna, not a Sugo. Perhaps the NYT is a tad lazy 😎 I do like the addition and subtraction of the onions, however. Well done.

  4. Adds fat from the meat back to the pot
    Skims off fat
    Adds butter

    I appreciate Samin's knowledge and techniques, but no matter who does this, I always end up questioning it. Just leave the fat and don't add butter. I know butter emulsifies in a way internal fats don't, but it feels like you're removing important flavour compounds when you skim a stew.

  5. Love you Amin, but THIS is lazy?!? I just put a really nice tomato on a really nice piece of bread, added some salt and black pepper and some really good mayo and I wouldn't have traded it with anything.

  6. Love watching Samin. She should have her own show. I watched her Salt, Fat Acid Heat series a few times. It's so well done.
    Her recipes are always so interesting and that laugh is contagious. If I could just snip those bangs a little shorter- is she hiding from us?

  7. I adore Samin, it is always like heaven when she cooks and leads you through it. To be honest, I have the feeling as if she is cooking directly for me, she is that incredible.

  8. So how does she get her bone-in pork shoulder and beef shank cross-cut? Does she have a table saw? And the whole “ask your butcher” thing doesn’t apply to like 90% of the audience. It doesn’t exist.
