Bolognese? Here's the secret of its success

The Bolognese holds a special place among Catanese hot savouries. Don't be fooled by the name: it is a thoroughly Sicilian rosticceria classic.

The name comes from its main and original filling, ragù – alla bolognese, of course.

It has a soft dough base topped with a layer of flaky, golden puff pastry that gives it a full, bold flavour, and inside you can find ragù, mushrooms or, more commonly, ham and cheese with hard-boiled egg.

Tall, soft and generously filled… when you're absolutely starving, the Bolognese is the right choice!
