About Ragu

Ragu is a rich, savory sauce typically associated with Italian cuisine, originating from traditional regional recipes that blend flavors of tomatoes, meat, vegetables, and aromatic herbs. Commonly used to accompany pasta, Ragu is made with ingredients such as ground beef or pork, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and sometimes wine or cream, simmered to create a deep, layered flavor. This hearty sauce is a source of protein and nutrients from the vegetables, but depending on the preparation, it can be high in fat and calories, especially if cream or fatty cuts of meat are used. Many store-bought versions may include added sugars or sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. Homemade versions offer healthier alternatives, allowing for control over ingredients and seasoning. Ragu’s robust taste and versatility make it a beloved staple in comforting, home-cooked Italian meals.
