Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe.

A delicious tradition dish – Bolognese Sauce or ragù, needs a perfect accompliment. The wide noodles capture all that lovely sauce and create the perfect canvas upon which to enjoy the deep flavors.

Writing this recipe has been like a tongue that keeps worry a sore tooth, that I keep coming back to. You see it’s apparent simplicity is deceptive because the method is just as important as the ingredients.

“Spag bol or bog”, is a dish invented outside of Italy consisting of spaghetti with a meat sauce. While the dish has has been a staple for millions of diners around the world for decades, Italians claimed the original recipe had become so corrupted it was in need of culinary rescue.

While my family recipe deviates a little from the “Accademia Italiana della Cucina” official version, I’m sure that given the characteristics of Italy, where within a few kilometers there are relevant changes in customs and traditions, this is authentic as it gets. It’s a basic ragù, ingredients include pancetta, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes and a dash of wine.

A few basics…. Italians do not serve this sauce with spaghetti, because it tends to fall of the pasta. Traditionally fettuccini or tagliatelle is used. Remember that this recipe is characterized by long slow cooking, you might as well make a huge batch… half now, half to freeze. Just double the ingredients.

Reserve a cup of the pasta water. Finish cooking the pasta tossed in the sauce for 3-4 minutes, using a little of pasta water if needed .

This will serve 6 hungry people. Untuk versi bahasa kunjungi Resep Spaghetti Bolognese Asli Italia.
