RAGU' or meat sauce.

The Journal of the Bolognese sauce recipe was submitted by a delegation from Bologna of the Italian Academy of Cuisine at the Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture in Bologna in an attempt to codify this traditional recipe of Italian cuisine.

The etymology of the word "ragù" seems to derive from french "ragout" noun derived from "ragoûter" which literally means to awaken the appetite.

The fascist regime attempted to Italianize calling the term "ragutto".
