Penne with Bolognese Sauce is a classic Italian dish that originated in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. The rich and hearty Bolognese sauce, also known as ragù, is made with a combination of ground meat, such as beef or pork, simmered with tomatoes, onions, carrots, celery, and a splash of red wine. The sauce is then generously tossed with al dente penne pasta, creating a comforting and satisfying meal. One of the most famous versions of this dish can be found at the renowned Ristorante Diana in Bologna, where Chef Mario Batali perfected his Bolognese recipe during his time in Italy. The key to a delicious Penne with Bolognese Sauce lies in the slow cooking of the sauce, allowing the flavors to meld and develop into a rich, savory masterpiece. For a twist on the traditional recipe, some chefs add a touch of cream to the Bolognese sauce, creating a lusciously creamy texture that pairs beautifully with the penne pasta. Whether enjoyed at a rustic trattoria in Bologna or a cozy Italian restaurant in New York City, Penne with Bolognese Sauce is a timeless favorite that continues to delight diners around the world.
