Bolognese Sauce

Bolognese Sauce

Everyday

Bolognese sauce is a traditional Italian meat-based sauce originating from Bologna, featuring a slow-simmered blend of ground beef and pork with aromatic vegetables (onions, celery, carrots) and a restrained tomato component. Its signature richness comes from the incorporation of milk or cream for subtle sweetness and wine for depth, creating a thick, protein-dense sauce traditionally served with wide pasta like tagliatelle. While higher in animal fats than vegetable-focused sauces, it provides substantial protein and adapts well to both classic pasta pairings and contemporary low-carb preparations when used with zucchini noodles or roasted vegetables.
