  • Spaghetti à la Bolognese — “Bolognese sauce is one of those recipes that transcends its particular cuisine: I remember preparing it at the Plaza-Athénée in Paris in the 1950s. Recipes for different versions abound. My wife, who loves spaghetti Bolognese, makes hers with beef, pork, and veal. The most common version is made with beef only, but in this recipe, I use half Italian sausage and half ground beef.” — Jacques Pépin
