Today I show you the recipe Spaghetti Bolognese. Ragù alla bolognese is the famous minced meat sauce from Bologna in northern Italy.
The classic pasta sauce is served in Bologna with tagliatelle, i.e. egg noodles.
In Germany we often find the sauce Bolognese combined with spaghetti (=noodles without egg).
First tip: Try this original pasta with tagliatelle, it definitely tastes better!
I wish you good success in cooking and a good appetite.

You will find the exact quantities of the ingredients at the end of the recipe Spaghetti Bolognese.
Sauce Bolognese itself and freshly cooked on the stove. The sauce always waits for the pasta, which means to cook the sauce first to the end, only then to cook the pasta.
2. Bolognese Chef Tips from Italy
- Prepare the Bolognese sauce first, the sauce is always waiting for the pasta.
- Sweat onions and vegetables in olive oil and butter to obtain the typical taste.
- In classic Italian cookbooks, Ragù alla bolognese is prepared only with tomato paste.
- Star chef Ingredients for Bolognese: A little finely grated lemon peel, ripened balsamic vinegar, old red wine, pine nuts and basil.
- Piece tomatoes as an ingredient make the ragout lighter and more digestible.
- You can add garlic to taste, but it’s not a must!
- The addition of mushrooms such as button mushrooms, chanterelles and porcini mushrooms is quite possible.
- Let the ragout simmer gently for at least 35 minutes to improve the flavour.
- Gourmets serve Bolognese ragout with tagliatelle, because egg noodles taste stronger and better with it.
