Spaghetti Bolognese, a classic Italian dish, originated in Bologna, Italy. The rich, meaty sauce, known as ragù, is the star of this dish, traditionally made with a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal, simmered with tomatoes, onions, carrots, and celery. The sauce is then served over al dente spaghetti, creating a comforting and hearty meal. Chefs like Marcella Hazan and Lidia Bastianich have popularized their versions of this beloved recipe. While the best version of this dish can be found in Bologna, many restaurants worldwide offer their take on this iconic dish. The key to a great spaghetti Bolognese lies in the slow cooking of the sauce to develop deep flavors.
