Ragù alla Bolognese or Ragù Classcio Bolognese. Ragù alla Bolognese or Ragù Classcio Bolognese. 🍝 There are many debates on what makes an authentic Bolognese sauce. My instinct is to stick to the native region where it was created 🙌 and from which it derives its name – Bologna 💕. There are still slight differences within the region but they all produce something quite ✨ magical to eat. 🔑 KEY THINGS TO NOTE: 1️⃣ Tomatoes are not a main ingredient. 2️⃣ Bolognese sauce is based on broth, typically a beef broth that resembles a stew preparation. 3️⃣ If you are used to making the traditional meat-and-tomato sauce, you’ll need to switch gears to your beef stew skills to understand how to make a true Bolognese sauce. Go to ✨Recipe Link ✨ in bio ⬆️ for the recipe and more tips about this pasta dish. * * * * #italianrecipe #italianfoodrecipe #italianrecipesreal #originalitalianrecipes #fooditalianstyle #fooditaliana #italianfoodtradition #bolognesesauce #raguallabolognese #bolognaitaly #mainmeal #dinnerrecipe #mainmeal #italianbeef #maindish #pastadishes #bolognesesauce #tagliatelle #tagliatellealragù #bonappétit #realsimplemagazine #lacucinaitalianausa #recipesofinstagram #foodieblogger #italianfoodbloggers #italianfoodblogger #food52gram #bonappetitmag

The Trevi Fountain is one of the most well-known f The Trevi Fountain is one of the most well-known fountains in the world ✨. “Trevi” is a combination of the Italian words “tre,” meaning “three” and “vie,” meaning “roads". The fountain is located at the intersection of Rome’s three most important roads. According to legend 🔱, tossing one coin into the Trevi Fountain ⛲ means you'll return to The Eternal City (Rome), tossing two coins means you'll return and fall in love 💗, and tossing three coins means you'll return, find love, and marry 😜. 📌 How to do a proper Trevi Coin Toss: 1. Use your right hand to throw the coin over your left shoulder. 2. If you plan to throw a second and third coin into the fountain, each is to be tossed separately, not all at once. 🎀 Right hand over left shoulder three times with three individual coins. * * * #thisisrome #ladolcevita #italianstyles #italiansummer #romeitaly #trevifountain #romanfountain #fountains #italianhistory #italiantravel #italiantravelblogger
Villa Borghese Cavazza 🏰 sits on the Isola del Villa Borghese Cavazza 🏰 sits on the Isola del Garda in the middle of Lake Garda.
