Ragù

Ragù is a savory Italian meat-based sauce typically made by slow-cooking ground or chopped meat with vegetables, tomatoes, wine, and seasonings. The process allows flavors to meld deeply, resulting in a rich, hearty sauce often served over pasta. Variations include different meats like beef, pork, or veal, and regional styles such as the famous Neapolitan ragù or Bolognese. Its consistent slow simmering creates a tender texture and complex flavor profile, making it a fundamental component of Italian cuisine enjoyed for its depth and comfort.
