Bolognese is a rich and hearty meat-based sauce originating from Bologna, Italy, and traditionally paired with pasta like tagliatelle. The sauce typically includes ground beef or pork, onions, celery, carrots, tomatoes, white wine, and milk or cream, slow-cooked to develop its deep flavors. It is a staple in Italian cuisine and renowned for its comforting, savory taste. Nutritionally, Bolognese provides a good source of protein from the meat and vitamins from the vegetables. However, the saturated fat content can be higher depending on the choice of meat and added dairy. Opting for leaner cuts of meat and reducing cream can make it lighter, while pairing it with whole grain pasta boosts fiber content. When enjoyed mindfully, Bolognese can be part of a balanced diet while showcasing the essence of Italian cooking tradition.
