What is Ragu?
Traditionally, ragu (or ragù) is basically an Italian meat-based sauce, or meat stew, that’s served with pasta, polenta, with a crusty loaf of bread…the options are endless. The main ingredients are meat, vegetables and a liquid that’s either water, broth, wine (or a combination of all). Due to its immensely hearty nature, ragu is perfect for the cooler seasons such as fall and winter, when we need more calories and warmth in our bodies to sheild us from the cold.
