Short for spaghetti bolognese, spag bol is one of Australia’s national dishes. The dish is a uniquely Australian version of the classic Italian tagliatelle al ragù alla bolognese. It is typically made with a combination of Australian beef, mushrooms, onions, carrot, celery, bacon, garlic, tomatoes, and spaghetti pasta.

The usage of Australian beef and mushrooms gives the dish a truly Australian feel that differentiates it from other similar dishes. It is recommended to serve the pasta first, then top it with the flavorful meaty sauce.
