If you have kids, Spaghetti Bolognese is probably firmly lodged in your recipe repertoire along with mac & cheese and chicken nuggets. I, myself, cook it more often than I’d like to admit because I know my kids will gobble up an entire bowl without fighting and I get to cram it full with assorted vegetables.
What is Spaghetti Bolognese?
Bolognese sauce is a slow-cooked meat sauce flavored with soffritto (onion, celery and carrots) and tomatoes. In Italy ragù alla bolognese is most often served with flat pasta like tagliatelle but across the world, spaghetti is a popular choice to serve the meaty sauce with.

Spaghetti bolognese is a delicious meal on its own but a side dish of air fryer garlic bread or a big zesty side salad is always a good idea.
