History of the dish
As such, there is no history of the origin of such a dish as spaghetti bolognese. Because bolognese is an independent meat sauce that is used in the preparation of not only pasta, but also other dishes, such as lasagna or tagliatelle. Bolognese sauce got its name due to the place where it actually originated - in the legendary gastronomic city of Bologna, which is located in the Emilia-Romagna region. It is said that this is where bolognese sauce originated. And the first recipe with this name was published back in 1891. By the way, at that time this dish was also called simply βstewβ.
