Bolognese sauce (Italian: ragù alla bolognese) is a meat-based sauce for pasta originating from Bologna, Italy. It is customarily used to dress tagliatelle and may also be used to prepare "lasagne alla bolognese". In Italy, ragù alla bolognese is known simply as ragù.
Outside Italy, Bolognese sauce often refers to a tomato sauce with meat (beef or pork) added, and typically bears little resemblance to ragù alla bolognese.

Famous quotes containing the word sauce:
“She leet no morsel from hir lippes falle,
Ne wette hir fyngres in hir sauce depe.
Wel koude she carie a morsel and wel kepe
That no drope ne fille upon hire brest.
In curteisie was set ful muchel hir lest.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
