About Bolognesa

Bolognesa, also known as Bolognese sauce, is a rich and flavorful meat-based sauce originating from Bologna, Italy. Traditionally served with pasta, its key ingredients include minced beef or pork, onion, celery, carrots, tomatoes, red wine, and milk or cream, seasoned with herbs like bay leaves or thyme. This hearty sauce offers a balanced mix of protein from the meat and vitamins from the vegetables. However, depending on the preparation, it can be high in fat, especially if made with cream or fatty cuts of meat. Opting for lean meat and reducing added fats can make it a healthier option. Bolognesa also provides lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomatoes, which supports heart health. Typically enjoyed as part of Italian cuisine, this beloved dish is versatile and can be adapted to fit a variety of dietary preferences while retaining its comforting character.
