Traditional Bolognese Recipe From Italy!
The truth is, Spaghetti Bolognese doesn’t exist! The mayor of Bologna has confirmed that while Ragù alla Bolognese is a classic, it’s never served with spaghetti. Traditionally, this famous Bolognese ragù pairs with wider pasta like tagliatelle or pappardelle. I have the authentic recipe from the Accademia Italiana Della Cucina, and I’m excited to share it with you.
