About Bolognaise sauce

Bolognese sauce is a rich and hearty meat-based sauce originating from Bologna, Italy, and is a staple in Italian cuisine. Traditionally crafted with ground beef or pork, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, tomatoes, and a dash of red wine, Bolognese offers a depth of flavor enhanced by slow cooking. Mild herbs like oregano and basil add aromatic touches. Protein from the meat and the vegetables’ vitamins contribute to its nutritional value. However, it can be high in saturated fat depending on the choice of meat and preparation methods. Some recipes include cream or butter, increasing fat content. To make it healthier, opt for lean meats and incorporate more vegetables into the mix. This versatile sauce is typically paired with pasta and appreciated for its balance between hearty and savory ingredients, making it a fulfilling, yet indulgent meal addition.
