A spaghetti Bolognese, the iconic Italian dish in Italian called Ragù alla Bolognese originated in the Italian city Bologna. This pasta conquered the world and is loved by young and old. Through the years I had the privilege to work with some Italian Chefs and they all have their own recipe so today want to share with you guys my personal recipe a version that is a result of mixing some of those recipes into my master piece.
Is this the best Bolognese ever? Well, no cause my Grandma's was the best but I'm aiming for silver here today. Serve the sauce with a pasta you like and some bread and Parmesan cheese.
Same sauce is used to make a Lasagna Alla Bolognese which we will take on in the coming weeks. Hope you'll try my recipe out some day and let me know how it was. Enjoy!

500 gr mixed ground pork and veal
