Spaghetti Bolognese - Spaghetti bolognese (sometimes called spaghetti alla bolognese, or colloquially 'spag bol', spaghetti with meat sauce, or just spaghetti) is a pasta dish that is popular outside Italy, but not part of traditional Bolognese or even Italian cuisine. The dish is generally perceived as inauthentic when encountered by Italians abroad.. It consists of spaghetti served with a sauce made from. Don't get me wrong the Bolognese sauce is as traditional as they get. It does comes from the city of Bologna. However, it is served with thicker pasta like tagliatelle, fettuccine or pappardelle. Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain, reserving a mugful of cooking water, then return to the pan with a few spoons of Bolognese, a good grating of Parmesan and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
