Spaghetti Bolognese is a classic Italian dish originating from Bologna, Italy. It features tender spaghetti topped with a hearty, slow-simmered meat sauce typically made from ground beef or pork, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and a medley of Italian herbs like oregano and basil. Often enriched with olive oil and occasionally a splash of red wine, the sauce is savory and packed with flavor. Parmesan cheese is commonly added for extra richness. This dish provides a good source of protein from the meat and energy from the pasta’s carbohydrates, making it a satisfying and balanced meal. Its tomato base is rich in lycopene, an antioxidant with potential health benefits. However, Spaghetti Bolognese can be high in calories and fat, especially when heavy on cheese or made with fattier meats. Choosing lean proteins, whole-grain pasta, and a lighter sauce can make this comforting meal healthier.
