In this Piatto™ video recipe, we’ll show you how to make the Ragu Bolognese recipe considered traditional in Italy. This classic Italian Ragu Bolognese is a ready-to-use sauce that freezes wonderfully. It’s definitely considered one of the best Italian pasta sauce recipes, and is popular throughout Italy.
This Italian ragu recipe originated in Bologna, Italy and is used in many Italian pasta dishes such as a Tagliatelle Bolognese, Spaghetti Bolognese, as a sauce for polenta and an ingredient in the Sunday classic: Ragu Bolognese lasagna.
This popular Northern Italia meat sauce has a rich, velvety taste. The ground meat (beef) is simmered in red wine, tomato and whole milk. The whole milk helps to counteract any acidity coming from the tomato and wine. However, to further reduce acidity choose a quality Chianti wine that you would drink and a tomato product with low acidity. Look for tomato sauce products that say they are ‘San Marzano’ tomatoes. These tomatoes are world-renowned for their taste. While not traditionally served over spaghetti in Italy today, feel free to use this sauce to make Spaghetti Bolognese!
