How to Heat & Serve
Oven Method (Recommended)
165°C for 25 minutes
Transfer sauce to an oven-safe dish or baking tray (plastic container cannot go in oven). Cover tightly with aluminum foil to prevent drying. Heat at 165°C for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until steaming hot and reaching 75°C internal temperature. For an elevated presentation, toss with cooked pasta in the oven dish and serve directly at the table—guests will appreciate the rustic, family-style service.
Microwave Method
Medium power for 5 minutes
Open container lid and place loosely back on top (not sealed tight—this allows steam to escape while retaining moisture). Microwave on medium power (50-70%) for 4-5 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even heating. The sauce should be steaming hot throughout and reach 75°C internal temperature. Let stand 1 minute before tossing with freshly cooked pasta. The container is microwavable and safe to use directly.
Stovetop Method
Transfer sauce to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water or pasta cooking water to prevent sticking and help the sauce coat pasta better. Stir gently and heat for 8-10 minutes until steaming hot throughout, reaching 75°C. The bone marrow fat will melt and create a glossy, silky texture. Add cooked pasta directly to the pan and toss to combine, allowing the starch to bind the sauce.
Why Choose Our Gochujang Bone Marrow Bolognese
Authentic bolognese requires techniques most home cooks never master: properly roasting bone marrow to extract maximum flavor without bitterness, achieving the perfect meat-to-fat ratio through butcher-quality grinding, and the patience for 3.5 hours of careful simmering with precise temperature control. Our chef uses traditional Italian soffritto technique combined with Korean fermentation science—the gochujang acts like supercharged tomato paste, its fermented soybeans creating umami depth that Italians typically achieve only through long-aged Parmigiano. The bone marrow adds restaurant-level richness and silky mouthfeel impossible to replicate without professional roasting skills and access to quality marrow bones.
Skip the 210-minute cooking process, specialty ingredient sourcing, and advanced technique mastery. No roasting bones, no precise temperature monitoring, no constant stirring to prevent scorching. Just 10 minutes from sealed container to restaurant-quality fusion bolognese that would impress diners at modern Italian trattorias. Perfect for dinner parties when you want to serve something sophisticated and unexpected—the Korean-Italian fusion story makes great table conversation. Also ideal for busy weeknights when you crave deep, complex flavors but only have time to boil pasta. The bone marrow richness and gochujang complexity create a memorable meal that tastes like hours of expert work.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reheat this Gochujang and Bone Marrow Spaghetti Bolognese?
Open container lid and place loosely back on top. Microwave on medium power (50-70%) for 4-5 minutes, stirring halfway, until steaming hot throughout. Alternatively, transfer to saucepan over medium-low heat, add 2-3 tablespoons water, and stir gently for 8-10 minutes. The sauce should reach 75°C internal temperature for optimal serving quality.
How long will this stay fresh in my fridge?
Keep in the original resealable container at 4°C or below. Stays fresh for 4-5 days from delivery. The container is resealable, so no need to transfer to another dish. The bone marrow fat creates a protective layer that helps preserve freshness. Always check for any off odors before reheating—fresh sauce should smell rich and savory.
Can I freeze this bolognese sauce?
Yes, the container is freezer-safe. Seal tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. The bone marrow fat and meat texture freeze exceptionally well. Thaw overnight in refrigerator before reheating. After thawing, stir well as some fat separation is natural. This makes excellent meal prep—portion and freeze for quick future dinners.
What's the actual portion size?
Each order contains 2 main course portions packaged together in one container. Serves 2 people as a complete main meal. Each portion provides approximately 300-350g of rich, hearty sauce—substantial enough to coat 100-120g of pasta per person. Note: pasta is not included, so cook your preferred spaghetti separately and toss with the reheated sauce.
Does this contain dairy, gluten, or soy?
Yes, contains multiple allergens. Gluten from wheat-based gochujang, dairy from butter used in the sauce base, and soy from the gochujang fermentation process. Also contains beef and pork. Safe for those avoiding nuts, eggs, and shellfish. The Parmigiano-Reggiano mentioned in the recipe is for finishing—not included in the sauce itself.
What should I serve this with for drinks?
Pairs beautifully with medium-bodied Italian reds like Chianti Classico or Barbera—the acidity cuts through the rich bone marrow while complementing the tomato base. For beer lovers, try a Belgian Dubbel with its malty sweetness balancing the gochujang heat. Non-alcoholic option: sparkling water with lemon cleanses the palate between bites of this rich sauce.
Is this fully cooked and ready to eat?
Yes, this sauce arrives fully cooked and chef-prepared. It's been slow-simmered for hours to develop deep flavors and tender meat texture. Simply reheat thoroughly to 75°C and toss with freshly cooked pasta. No prep work, no chopping, no 3.5-hour cooking process—just restaurant-quality bolognese in 10 minutes from fridge to table.
Do I need to add anything or is it complete?
The sauce is complete and ready to use. Note that pasta is NOT included—cook 200-240g of spaghetti separately according to package directions. Toss the hot pasta with reheated sauce. For authentic finishing, grate fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano on top and add a drizzle of quality olive oil. Fresh basil or parsley adds a nice color contrast.
Storage & Freshness
Refrigeration
Keep in original resealable container in refrigerator at 4°C or below. The container is resealable, so no need for plastic wrap or transferring to another dish—simply close the lid securely. Stays fresh for 4-5 days from delivery. The bone marrow fat creates a protective layer on top that helps preserve the sauce. Store away from strong-smelling foods as the sauce will absorb odors.
Freezing
Container is freezer-safe for extended storage. Seal tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. The meat and bone marrow fat freeze exceptionally well without texture degradation. Label with date for tracking. Thaw overnight in refrigerator (never at room temperature for food safety). After thawing, you may notice some fat separation—this is completely normal. Stir well during reheating to re-emulsify. Great for meal prep—freeze individual portions for quick future dinners.
Shelf Life
Best consumed within 5 days of delivery.
