The bolognese ragù is a very tasty and dense sauce, originally from Bologna, a town in Northern Italy. The bolognese ragù is normally used with egg tagliatelle. There are different ways to prepare the bolognese ragù, but the original recipe is the one which has been registered at the Chamber of Commerce, Trade and Agriculture of Bologna in 1982, to guarantee and preserve the tradition of this delicious sauce. Let’s have a look at the original recipe of bolognese ragù to learn how to make it in the traditional manner.
