Spaghetti alla Bolognese exist?

Which is the truth?

Tuna sauce for the real spaghetti alla Bolognese

Yes spaghetti alla bolognese really exist and are seasoned with tuna sauce, not with ragù Bolognese.
I didn’t know about that until yrs ago, in the family of my husband they always cook it in particular at the Christmas Eve and I always told him that for me wasn’t traditional and he always said: “Yes it is”.

The recipe for spaghetti alla Bolognese dates back to a century ago or so, to trace this period they spent months of studies collecting verbal testimonies, exploring written texts, poems and memoirs; because as you already know we Italians always write about food and it is our passion and our way of celebrating life. So through all this research they managed to trace it back to the 1900s when tuna in oil began to spread, the dish as we know it today spread thanks to the low cost of the ingredients and obviously thanks to how good it is.

Now are registered by accademia italiana della cucina (Italian Accademy of kitchen) at Chamber of Commerce, so yes HE WAS RIGHT spaghetti with tuna sauce are traditional and are the real spaghetti alla Bolognese.

But remember that if u see on the menù of a restaurant a dish of Spaghetti alla Bolognese made with meat instead tuna aren’t tradional.

Everytime I see spaghetti with ragù Bolognese on the menù it’s like a litmus test for me, because at 99,99% that restaurant it’s a place for tourist, I suggest u to avoid this type of restaurant.

Ingredients:

180 gr tuna in oil drained
400gr of peeled tomatoes cutted in small pieces 1 onions cutted in thinly slice
Salt and pepper
Olive oil

Preparation for the sauce:

Take a big oiled pan at medium flame add the onions cutted in thinly slice.
Let it cook few minutes until it became brown.
Now add peeled tomatoes salt and pepper and leave it to cook for 30minutes at medium-low flame.
After 30min add tuna and continue cooking it for 20minutes and it’s ready!
The traditional way is with spaghetti but u can use this sauce to seasoning any type of pasta.

How to cook pasta:

It’s one of the easiest thing u can do.

Fill a pot 2/3 full with cold water.

Since pasta needs a lot of space to move around while cooking, it is important to use a large pot.

If u use a small pot the pasta may stick during cooking, so remember to use always a large pot.

Place the pot on the stove at high heat and wait for the water to boil.

Cover the pot with the appropriate lid to speed up the boiling process: in this way the water will boil faster and, consequently, you will also avoid wasting electricity or gas.

Once the water has reached boiling temperature 100 degrees, you can add a tablespoon of coarse salt.

Throw the pasta into the water, the quantity of pasta is usually about 70g per person, but if you cook more it is also perfect for the next day.

For cooking time, follow the instructions on the box.

About spaghetti, throw them in whole and slowly while they are softening during cooking push them down with a ladle or kitchen spoon.

Never break them, just wait a few minutes until the spaghetti are completely immersed in the water.

After 10-15 minutes depending on the type of pasta, drain it and serve it with your favorite sauce.
