What is Bolognese sauce?
[[File:Tagliatelle al ragù (image modified).jpg|280px|right|thumb|[[Tagliatelle]] with bolognese sauce.]] '''Bolognese sauce''' is a [[sauce]] made with [[meat]] that is then mixed with [[pasta]] before eating. It is called ''Ragù alla bolognese'' in [[Italy]]. The sauce came from [[Bologna]] in Italy. Most Italian people eat their Bolognese sauce with ''tagliatelle'', a broad, flat type of pasta. It can also be served with ribbon or tube shaped pasta. == Spaghetti alla Bolognese recipes == [[File:Spaghetti bolognese.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Spaghetti alla Bolognese.]] In 1982, the Bolognese [[delegation]], said that the [[recipe]] must only be made of [[beef]], pancetta (a type of [[bacon]]), [[onions]], [[carrots]], [[celery]], [[tomato]] paste, meat [[broth]], [[red wine]] and [[milk]] or [[cream]]. There are different recipes of Bolognese sauce. Some of the recipes contain chopped [[pork]] or pork [[sausage]]. [[Mushroom]]s are sometimes added. Spaghetti Bolognese is popular outside of Italy where the sauce is put on a plate of [[spaghetti]] with a little bit of grated [[cheese]] put on. In [[China]] Bolognese sauce is served with [[noodle]]s and it is called Chinese spaghetti. However, these different ways of making the recipe are never eaten in Bologna. They do use the recipe together with [[béchamel sauce]] to make lasagna. {{clear}} == References and further reading == * Kaspar, Lynne Rossetto (1st Edition: September 21, 1992) ''The Splendid Table: Recipes from Emilia-Romagna, the Heartland of Northern Italian Food'', Morrow Cookbooks. {{ISBN|0-688-08963-1}}. == Other websites == {{cookbook|Spaghetti with Bolognese meat sauce}} [[Category:Italian food]] [[Category:Sauces]] [[Category:Bologna]]
