Tagliatelle al Ragu alla Bolognese – Raw Vegan Pasta

Tagliatelle Bolognese is a famous Italian pasta recipe originating from the city of Bologna. This dish consists of a pasta called 'tagliatelle' and a sauce called 'ragu alla bolognese'. 'Tagliatelle' pasta has a flat surface, which makes it resemble ribbons. This flat form of pasta is good for Bolognese sauce because it provides a strong base to 'bind' this ingredient-rich sauce. The full name of the 'bolognese' sauce is 'ragu alla bolognese'. The word 'ragu' means slow cooking, and the word 'bolognese' means a sauce that traditionally consists of chopped vegetables and meat in a mixture of wine, milk and passata (puréed tomatoes). One of the most common mistakes is to combine Bolognese sauce with spaghetti. Spaghetti pasta is thin so it does not provide a strong base for the weight of the Bolognese sauce. Tagliatelle pasta has a wider surface that gives a strong base to the Bolognese sauce.
