Trivia

• Bolognese Sauce comes from Bologna – hence the name. However, they only serve it in lasagna unlike many other countries that have expanded the sauce’s uses and now have it with various delicacies.

It is made with easily available ingredients because, when it was first invented in Italy, the home cooks did not have access to any ingredients other than the ones grown in that part of the world.
