Bolognese is a rich and hearty meat-based sauce originating from Bologna, Italy. Traditionally made with minced beef or pork, it combines onions, carrots, celery, garlic, tomatoes, and a touch of milk or cream for added richness. Often cooked with white wine and herbs like oregano or bay leaves, Bolognese is served over pasta, such as tagliatelle, or used in lasagna. Its protein content from the meat makes it a satisfying meal, while the vegetables add fiber and essential nutrients. However, the dish can be high in saturated fats depending on the choice of meat and amount of dairy used. Pairing it with whole-grain pasta can boost its fiber content and reduce its glycemic impact. With moderation and mindful ingredient choices, Bolognese can be a flavorful, balanced meal within Italian cuisine.
