Tips
When serving the tagliatelle with the meat sauce, bring some grated parmesan cheese to the table to sprinkle over the pasta. You can store the sauce in the fridge, closed tightly, for 2-3 days at most.

The etymology of the word ‘ragù’ comes from the French ‘ragout’ which means ‘to awaken the appetite’. It is also not generally served with spaghetti, as in the UK!
