Mary Berry has spilled the beans on her stunning spaghetti bolognese recipe - and it's sure hit in British kitchens. The national treasure and cooking icon recently unveiled how to make your bolognese stand out from the crowd with a simple yet transformative kitchen staple – double cream.
In an eye-opening BBC segment, Mary Berry walked viewers through her scrumptious recipe, highlighting her secret twist: double cream for that opulent texture. Mary elaborated: "Nothing beats a hearty supper when you've worked up an appetite, and this recipe is my delicious version of one of our nation's go-to dishes. We Brits cook bolognese more than any other meat recipe, so here is how it goes."
Designed to serve six people, the preparation time for this dish is under 30 minutes. Yet, to achieve the perfect softness and tenderness of the meat, a cooking duration of two hours is essential.
