Rigatoni Bolognese is a classic Italian pasta dish originating from the Emilia-Romagna region. The rich and hearty Bolognese sauce, also known as ragù, is made with a combination of ground meats, such as beef and pork, simmered with tomatoes, onions, carrots, celery, and a splash of wine. The sauce is then generously tossed with al dente rigatoni pasta, allowing the ridges to capture the flavorful sauce. Renowned chefs like Marcella Hazan and Lidia Bastianich have popularized this dish, and it has become a staple in Italian restaurants worldwide.
