A very belated Ramadan Kareem (…or "Ramzan Mubarak", before I
get stoned by the very emotional lot who find the ‘D’ very offensive – lol)!
I’ve been missing in action again but am back with something you will
definitely love me for.
Spaghetti Bolognese is a very tricky dish to be perfect. It
can either be too saucy or too dry, the flavor can either be too “ketchup-ish”
or very sour but it’s one of my favorite dishes of all times!
My awesome brother Chef Fahd Khan, who happens to work at
Down House Houston, took out his precious time to make me the yummiest
Spaghetti Bolognese I’ve ever had. The best part is, it has fine restaurant
taste that could quickly and easily be made right in your own kitchen!
(I begged and pleaded him to let me share this because he’s
usually very mysterious about all his recipes)
By the way, I tried this for Iftar + Dinner - absolutely filling and delicious!
Here it is – Chef Fahd’s secret recipe, in his own words, for his special Bolognese sauce:
