About Bolognese meat sauce

Bolognese Meat Sauce is a rich and flavorful Italian dish originating from Bologna. Traditionally served with pasta, this sauce combines ground meat—usually beef and pork—with aromatic vegetables like onion, carrot, and celery. It's simmered in a tomato-based sauce, often enhanced with wine, milk, or cream for depth and richness. Packed with protein from the meat and essential vitamins from the vegetables, Bolognese can be part of a balanced meal. However, its calorie content may rise depending on added fats like oil or cream. Pairing it with whole-grain pasta or zucchini noodles boosts its fiber content, while moderating portion sizes keeps it heart-healthy. This classic recipe offers a taste of Italy while providing key nutrients, but mindful preparation can optimize its health benefits.
