The celebrity son of David and Victoria Beckham has perfected his favorite dish to make for his wife, Nicola Peltz.
Brooklyn Peltz Beckham Just Revealed the Dish He Cooked to Win Over His Wife
Published on Apr. 22, 2025
If you’re trying to track down celebrity Brooklyn Peltz Beckham these days, odds are you’ll find him at home, in his kitchen.
25-year-old Brooklyn, the eldest son of soccer star David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice), told Taste Recipes in a recent interview that he isn’t much for going out these days. Instead, he prefers to stay in and cook for friends or his wife Nicola, who he married in 2022.
So, what’s on the menu at the Peltz Beckham household on a typical evening? Like many of us in these uncertain times, the couple is typically turning to the carb-y comfort of pasta recipes.
What is Brooklyn Peltz Beckham’s favorite dish to cook at home?
According to Brooklyn, his go-to dish to cook at home is spaghetti bolognese, a dish that he said he also cooked for Nicola early on in their relationship. Over the years, he’s worked to improve it and believes he may have made his best batch yet—though he stopped short of calling it perfect because he “doesn’t want to make the Italians mad.”
“The pasta dish is mine and my missus’ go-to dish,” Brooklyn told Taste Recipes. “The other night, I made her probably my best spaghetti bolognese that I have made so far. She tried it and she was just like, ‘Oh my God.’ I love making her happy.”
What makes Brooklyn Peltz Beckham’s spaghetti bolognese unique?
Of course, we had to know how Brooklyn wins raves for his signature dish. The key, he said, is to use bronze-cut pasta, like Barilla’s Al Bronzo, a made-in-Italy pasta line that is relaunching this week with two new pasta shapes—fusilloni and orecchiette. Brooklyn is currently partnering with the brand.
Using bronze-cut pasta, Brooklyn said, allows the pasta to grip onto more sauce—and, therefore, more flavor—with every bite. Since the pasta holds onto more of the sauce, you can avoid encountering a watery surprise at the bottom of your bowl. This is true of most pasta sauces, whether they’re creamy or tomato-based.
“I don’t really like the little puddle at the end,” Brooklyn said.
Brooklyn’s other secret to his spaghetti bolognese is the somewhat unconventional tip to avoid cooking the pasta in water—he prefers to cook it until al dente, right in the sauce itself.
