Then around the 1700s, in Bologna, it was developed into a sauce for pasta. The ingredients include ground beef, pancetta (bacon), onion, carrot, celery, beef stock, tomato concentrate, butter or oil, salt, pepper. There are many variations to this basic recipe. Other than mushrooms I don?t like vegetables in pasta sauces. I make my rag? with equal parts of beef, lamb and pork with no veggies at all other than tomato sauce. Joe
