Bolognese sauce (ragù alla bolognese in Italian, also known by its French name, sauce bolognaise) is a meat based sauce for pasta that originated in Bologna, Italy. Bolognese sauce is sometimes thought to be a tomato sauce, but authentic recipes have only a very small amount of tomato, perhaps a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste.

I just discovered this site (love the idea!) and made this dish tonight for a date and I. I'm a pretty amateur cook, but this came out excellent!
