In Italy the original traditional Bolognese sauce was and still today usually done with a flat spaghetti called tagliatelle, we call it “Tagliatelle Ragu alla Bolognese”. As the dish became more popular countries outside of Italy used spaghetti and is now known as “Spaghetti Alla Bolognese”.
Tagliatelle (flat spaghetti) alla Bolognese is actually a Lasagna Bolognese but prepared differently. In Bologna, the Spaghetti Bolognese is mostly served with fresh tagliatelle, often with fettuccine or pappardelle not spaghetti.
