Bolognese sauce

Spaghetti alla Bolognese, or spaghetti Bolognese which is sometimes further shortened to spag bol, is dish invented outside of Italy consisting of spaghetti with a meat sauce. In the Italian city of Bologna, spaghetti is never served with a meat sauce, which tends to fall off the pasta and stay on the plate. Instead, the people of Bologna serve their famous meat sauce with tagliatelle or short, tubular pasta like rigatoni.
