7Spaghetti Bolognese

Spaghetti Bolognese, a dish featuring a meaty tomato sauce served over spaghetti, is a classic comfort food embraced worldwide.

Surprisingly, this dish has roots outside of Italy, and its authenticity has been a subject of much debate. While Italians do have a rich tradition of pasta with meat-based sauces, the specific combination of minced meat, tomatoes, and spaghetti known as Spaghetti Bolognese is more commonly associated with adaptations abroad. In Italy, a similar sauce known as Ragù alla Bolognese is typically paired with tagliatelle.
