spaghetti bolognaise

Italian meat sauce

Spaghetti bolognaise is a dish of spaghetti topped with a meat sauce, typically made with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, and herbs.

The spelling bolognaise is French-influenced; bolognese reflects the Italian city Bologna, where the sauce supposedly originated—though Italians traditionally serve the ragù with tagliatelle, not spaghetti.

We had spaghetti bolognaise for dinner.
