  1. The fact you put gloves on because a couple of whiners complain about you touching food with your hands drives me crazy. Why give in to the crazies of the world? Are they eating it? If they wear gloves then let them wear gloves!

  2. some changes: cook the meat after the onions and garlic, then add the tomato paste to the meat, cook, then wine, cook, now ur paste will not overpower the sauce, also the sugar isn't for added sweetness, it's to reduce acidity. if the tomatos are san marzano they'll already be sweet and won't need any sugar. cheap tomatos need it.

  3. Wait Billy
    Is still called sauce
    if it contains meat?
    I thought
    If it has meat it’s
    gravy.
    Sauce no meat.
    Like apple sauce,
    cranberry sauce,
    tomato sauce.
    Unless this is dif.

  4. Thank you for your great recipes and videos, Could you please tell me what kind of pasta pot you are using on this video. I really like it….deep enough to really cook the pasta with enough room…the ones i have used with inserts have been too shallow…yours looks perfect. Please let me know if it available????

  5. Sorry Billy not at all impressed. this isn't even pedestrian. An Italian who is also a chef, sauce should really wow. For starters you got no color on the meat, 4 pounds no thought no attempt at the maillard effect. It needs to cook with some crushed red pepper not for heat but for flavor, it makes a huge difference. the parsley is a waste, it adds zilch, the vinegar? please, and San Marzano's are a must!!! Yes 3 cans are $15, so worth it with every bite! Finally soaking the onions and garlic in red wine, ruined! That was not deglazing it was dousing. Im sure its edible, but it needs to be incredible and just bursting like crazy with flavors. Incredible sauce wows on its own no need for wine and vinegar and games. This is so off for you, I have a feeling you have a credible sauce recipe that your not willing to share.

  6. Hmmm…well, I definitely don’t approve of not tossing the pasta (not noodles) in the sauce completely. Ordinarily, I’d say that’s the tell tale sign of a cook who has no idea what he’s doing. However I’ve seen your other videos and cooked many of them and I know you’re not always conventional. Your unorthodox way of preparing gumbo was great so I’ll look the other way!😜

    However, might I suggest your use of dried herbs and sugar is a bridge too far? Italian cooking is about freshness, quantity ingredients and simplicity. Perhaps your endeavor is more in the vein of Italian ā€œAmericanā€ cooking? Whenever I see sauces with all these different dots and colors of ā€œItalian seasoningsā€ I can’t help but think ā€œamateurā€ but perhaps I’m being to strict?

    And shouldn’t the sweetness of the tomatoes negate the need for sugar? This seems like cheating to me.

    Just food for thought. You’re one of my favorites. I find you likable, charming and a pleasure to watch. You’ve taught me a lot!

  7. Another extraordinary example of gastronomic illiteracy. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
