Nailing a delicious traditional Bolognese can be tricky and many of the recipes we see today are not in fact Bolognese. They're often a hybrid of Bolognese and Ragù alla Napoletana. Two key differences between Ragu alla Napoletana and Bolognese is the type of wine used and the addition of mushrooms. Napoletana uses red wine, while Bolognese uses white wine and adds dry mushrooms. (Although, mushrooms were not in the original recipe Pellegrino Artusi created in 1891 in Bologna Italy, but hey–neither were tomatoes!). The Italian Academy of Cuisine (which documents all of Italy's culinary history) lists the ingredients for bolognese as beef or veal, fresh unsmoked pancetta, onions, carrot, celery, tomato puree, meat broth, dry white wine, milk, salt and pepper. So paying homage to a truly traditional Bolognese with a little flair (herbs + goat cheese) and one slight adjustment (no pancetta) this delicious sauce is paired with pillowy gnocchi for a perfect "Gnocchi Friday" dinner. Have a colorful day and enjoy!
