Not sure if this is the place to post this, but need some cooking advice on something which apparently splits opinion. I'm doing Spag Bol, but using a different recipe. So far I've fried the mince, added onion, carrot, garlic, oregano, basil, mushroom, a stock cube, red wine, tomato purée and chopped tomato. I've left it to reduce on the hob for about an hour.

The recipe now tells me to add milk.

I've used a couple of recipes in the past but milk is a new one on me. It currently tastes quite nice, should I risk it by adding milk, something that intuitively sounds like it would just make the meal worse?

According to google this is an issue that splits opinion. To add milk or not?

I would never add milk to bolognese. I also don't add cream to a carbonara.

Carbonara without cream would be like fish fried in batter without chips.

In fact, would you still call it carbonara if it didn't have cream in it?

Maybe it's different in Partick but until you've had sampled carbonara from Bar Italia, or Bar Roma in Embra, you just haven't lived.

I did it and I regret it. Predictably it's gone both creamy and lost its intense flavours.

It's gone from a thing of beauty to a creamy mess not unlike ready meal versions. Who wants creamy pasta sauce? This was a mistake.

Carbonara doesn't have cream.

If by Partick you mean Italy, sure.
