About Bolognese pasta

Bolognese pasta is a classic Italian dish originating from Bologna, known for its rich, slow-cooked meat sauce. Traditionally made with ground beef or pork, onion, celery, carrots, tomato paste, red wine, and aromatic herbs, this hearty sauce is typically served over tagliatelle or spaghetti. It's a great source of protein and contains essential vitamins from the vegetables used in the sauce. However, it can be high in calories and saturated fats, especially if prepared with full-fat dairy or fatty cuts of meat. To make it healthier, consider using lean ground meat, reducing oil, and increasing the vegetable content. Pairing it with whole-grain pasta can also add fiber, promoting better digestion and sustained energy. While indulgent, this comforting dish offers a balance of nutrients when enjoyed in moderation as part of a varied diet.
