RUTH Langsford has been accused of “rage baiting”; after revealing her very unique twist on the traditional spaghetti bolognaise.
The former host of This Morning explained in a video on her TikTok page that the original came from her mother, but said she had adapted it over the years.
And the result is her “little fabulous “.
She began by showing off her with labels on each drawer, before grabbing some frozen onions and popping them in a large frying pan.
Holding a cup of coffee, said that if she was cooking for an evening meal, she would treat herself to a glass of wine.
But instead she indulged in a skinny latte, as she admitted she has to stick to just one coffee a day because anything else makes her “a bit jittery”;.
And drinking coffee isn’t the only way she uses the drink, as she revealed she also adds a spoonful of the instant granules to her bolognaise too.
“I think gives this a really deep flavour,”; she said.
“It doesn’t taste of coffee.”;
And referencing her and ex son Jack, who was apparently filming the video and was unimpressed by her coffee revelation, Ruth laughed: “Jack, just to let you know, I’ve always put coffee in this spag bol, darling!
“And you don’t like coffee. Ah!”;
Alongside the coffee, Ruth added minced beef, garlic, tomato puree, Oxo cube, dried basil – and a “lot of”; it – and bay leaves.
“So that has been simmering away now, an hour, hour and a half-ish,”; she said.
“Oh, smells good!”;
She had a “little taste”;, as she said it was “very good, if I say so myself”;.
“But don’t forget, my little adding of is the coffee!”; Ruth concluded.
“Everyone’s got their way of doing it, haven’t they?”; Ruth added in the caption.
“This one’s mine... loosely based classic but, over the years, I’ve made it my own (as you do)!
“No strict measurements here... I just go by eye, taste as I go, and trust my instincts.”;
Ruth added she keeps it “simple, hearty and full of flavour”;.
And another of her hacks is to use “frozen, chopped onions”;, as Ruth called it a “game changer”;.
“Makes it so much quicker and no runny eyes!”; she promised.
However, in the comments section, people were left unimpressed by her bolognaise twist.
“Coffee? Are u rage bating?”; one questioned.
“Dark choc, loads of fresh garlic, oregano, black pepper – no oxo cube.
“You’ve made something but its not bolognaise.”;
“Seriously, coffee, you winding us up...?”; another added.
“You just killed spaghetti bol,”; a third commented.
While others shared their for making the classic dish a bit different.
“Try mustard init,”; one said.
“Coffee?!!! No way! I make mine with Worcestershire sauce & bacon lardons,”; another added.
“Ruth have you tried; all what you said but with minced lamb and oxo lamb cube instead of beef?”; a third commented.
“In my opinion it’s a million times nicer than the minced beef!”;
“Add a good teaspoon of sugar to counteract the acid in the tomato paste and tinned tomatoes,”; someone else said.
“Believe me – it so enhances the flavour.”;
