Although the two terms are often used interchangeably, Bolognese refers to a meat sauce in the style of Bologna, Italy. It's made from minced beef and pork, along with a soffrito, milk or cream, and a small amount of tomato, which is slow-cooked for hours. Traditional Ragù alla Bolognese from Bologna is almost always served with Tagliatelle or some other wide flat pasta, not spaghetti. When you're not pressed for time, I have a fantastic recipe for Ragù Alla Bolognese.
