Buongiorno,
White ragu, a savory Italian sauce made without tomatoes, is a delicious and hearty variation of the classic meat-based ragu. Often referred to as "ragù bianco," this dish is crafted with a combination of tender meat and aromatic vegetables, to have a deeply flavorful sauce. Unlike the traditional red ragù, which relies on tomatoes for its color and tanginess, white ragu showcases the full depth of its ingredients, often with a mixture of pork, beef, or veal, complemented by herbs like rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves.
The beauty of white ragu lies in its simplicity and versatility—it pairs wonderfully with a variety of pastas, from pappardelle to tagliatelle, and can be served as a comforting main dish or as a filling for lasagna. Its delicate flavors make it a perfect choice for those who enjoy rich, meaty sauces but prefer something lighter than the usual tomato-based options. Whether you're looking to impress your guests or simply indulge in a soul-warming meal, white ragu offers a taste of Italian comfort food that never fails to satisfy.
