Ragù Toscano

Ragù Toscano is a hearty Italian meat sauce from Tuscany, consisting of ground beef, bits of sausage, tomatoes, wine, olive oil, and a sofrito made from onion, carrots, and celery. There are numerous variations on the ragù depending on the region where it is prepared.


The ragù can be used with various pasta types such as lasagne. Unlike the traditional ragù from Emilia-Romagna, ragù Toscano is not that red and is somewhat drier.
