Ragù and Bolognese sauce are often wrongly considered to be the same thing. While ragù is a traditional Italian meat-based sauce, Bolognese is a type of ragù made using white wine and tomatoes.

Authentic RAGÙ alla Bolognese

WHICH TYPE OF PASTA SHOULD RAGÙ BE SERVED WITH?

Ragù is best paired with pasta with a long, wide and flat shape, such as pappardelle or tagliatelle. Their rough and porous surfaces are ideal for contending with robust, chunky sauces. Large shells or tubes like conchiglioni or paccheri also work well.
