About Meat ragu

Meat Ragu is a hearty, slow-cooked meat sauce originating from Italian cuisine, particularly the Bologna region. Traditionally made with finely minced beef or pork, it incorporates aromatic vegetables like onion, celery, and carrot, simmered with tomatoes, broth, wine, and herbs to create a rich and flavorful dish. Often paired with pasta, polenta, or gnocchi, Meat Ragu is comforting and versatile. Nutritionally, it provides a good source of protein and essential vitamins from its meat and vegetables. Tomatoes contribute antioxidants such as lycopene, which support heart health. However, it can be calorie-dense, especially if prepared with fatty cuts of meat or topped with cheese. Opting for leaner meats and managing portion sizes can help balance its nutritional profile. A beloved staple of Italian dining, Meat Ragu combines tradition with robust flavors for a satisfying dish.
