The former Great British Bake Off judge “shocked” some viewers with her unusual ingredients in the Italian dish.
On her BBC Two show Mary Berry Everyday, she used white wine, thyme, cream and an oven to create the meal, leaving some viewers horrified.
Taking to social media, many viewers called out the much-loved TV chef for her twist on the classic dish with one saying they were “appalled”.
“I can’t cope with Mary Berry’s bolognese recipe. She used white not red wine. She cooks it in the oven. There is thyme but no basil,” one person wrote on Twitter.
Another outraged viewer wrote: “Shocked and appalled about Mary Berry adding double cream to her bolognese.”
“I love Mary Berry, but white wine in a bolognese sauce? No. It has to be red,” stated a third.
“I just saw #maryberry adding double cream to a bolognese sauce… clearly a long career in baking has taken its toll,” added another.
Her dish was one of five demonstrated in Monday night’s Hearty and Wholesome, the second episode in her series.
But it wasn’t just her bolognese sauce that caused a stir.
Some viewers were offended by her choice of ingredients for a salad which included red and white quinoa, bulgar wheat and pomegranate molasses.
