The controversy over Bolognese sauce
Bologna's iconic dish, from Emilia-Romagna region, in northern Italy, is the tagliatelle with bolognese ragù. Without a doubt, it is one of the most popular Italian recipes in the world.
But… spaghetti bolognese doesn’t exist, despite it being on menus all over the world.
However, in Bologna (or Bologna, in Italian), the dish is made with noodles, pasta cut into strips and typical of the region.
Emilians say that the term “Bolognese” is the most usurped term in Italian cuisine. There's even a proposal to teach the world's cooks what the real sauce that everyone swears they know how to make is like.
