Origin of Bolognese
The roots of Bolognese trace back to Bologna, Italy, a city famous for hearty ragù. Traditionally, the sauce is rich with fatty meat, butter, cream, and wine, simmered for hours to create depth. But today’s world demands balance—flavor with fitness, indulgence with intention. This lighter Bolognese keeps the essence alive—tomatoes, herbs, and richness—but reshapes it for modern, mindful eaters. It is Italian warmth reimagined for a weight-conscious lifestyle.
I still remember I was in my Aunt’s house, the first time I twirled spaghetti Bolognese on my fork. Back then, I didn’t care about calories; I cared about comfort. That flavor was extraordinary then I asked the recipe and tried it at home. I gave an honest effort to learn it my way by trying with different methods until I like the ingredients that I like and want to add in my recipe.
But after marriage, life changed. Health became priority, waistlines mattered, because most of the ladies gain weight after kids, energy demanded lighter meals.

Years later, cooking the same dish with chicken mince, I realized that classics don’t need to be heavy to be comforting. They need love, balance, and care. Every bite of this recipe reminds me that food is not just about feeding the body—it is about feeding the heart.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Step 1: Prepare the Spaghetti
Boil spaghetti in salted boiling water for 7–8 minutes until tender but firm (al dente). Drain, rinse under cold water, and toss with 1 tbsp of oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
-
Step 2: Build the Flavor Base
In a large pan, heat the remaining oil. Add chopped garlic, onion, and carrot. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant and lightly golden. This step creates the aromatic backbone of your sauce.
-
Step 3: Cook the Chicken
Add chicken mince to the pan. Cook on high heat for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the meat changes color and crumbles nicely.
-
Step 4: Add Tomatoes & Seasoning
Mix in chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Fry for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to blend.
-
Step 5: Simmer the Sauce
Pour in 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes, giving time for the sauce to thicken and flavors to deepen. Uncover and cook for another 5 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly.
-
Step 6: Combine and Serve
Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce. Fold gently until every strand is coated in the rich Bolognese mixture. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
Note
Tips for Best Results
- Use whole wheat spaghetti for extra fiber and a nutty taste.
- Add a splash of chicken stock instead of water for a richer sauce.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle red chili flakes before serving.
- Let the sauce rest for 5 minutes before mixing—it helps flavors settle.
