Spaghetti Bolognese – A classic of Italian cuisine

Recipe Introduction

Hello dear readers, this is your Bella Pasta, enthusiastic Italy lover and above all, passionate cook. Today I am sharing with you the recipe of my beloved Spaghetti Bolognese, a dish that unites my childhood memories and culinary passion. Bolognese, also known as Ragù alla Bolognese, is far more than just a pasta sauce. It is the centerpiece of many Italian family meals and represents the soul of Italian cuisine: simple ingredients that come together with love and patience to form something wonderful. My version of this recipe sticks closely to the traditional preparation with plenty of time for the sauce to develop all the flavors properly. But I give the whole thing my personal touch by adding a splash of white wine instead of the usual red wine. This gives the sauce a light, fresh note. Another tip I would like to share with you: always cook a larger amount. The sauce tastes even better reheated the next day when the spices have had even more time to develop their full flavors. So, grab an apron and get ready to embark on the journey into the wonderful world of Italian cuisine. Because, as we all know, the best things in life happen while eating pasta. Yours, Bella Pasta.
