Ragù alla bolognese is a traditional Italian meat sauce originating from Bologna. It is typically made with ground beef, pork, or veal, combined with onions, carrots, celery, and tomatoes. The sauce is slow-cooked to develop rich flavors and is often served with pasta, particularly tagliatelle. This dish is distinct from other meat sauces due to its creamy texture, which is achieved by adding milk or cream during the cooking process. Ragù alla bolognese is commonly enjoyed with grated Parmesan cheese and is a staple in Italian cuisine, celebrated for its hearty and comforting qualities.
