How is Bolognese different from Sunday gravy?

I've heard that Bolognese and Sunday gravy are different, but I'm not sure how. Can someone explain the main differences between these two delicious sauces? Is it about the ingredients or the way they're cooked? Any insights would be super helpful!

Bolognese is fancy meat sauce, while Sunday gravy is its heartier, family-favorite cousin! Both are delicious, but Bolognese focuses on the meat with a lighter tomato base, while Sunday gravy is all about the rich, simmered tomato sauce with big chunks of meat.

Bolognese and Sunday gravy are indeed different. Bolognese is a meat-based sauce from Bologna, Italy, typically made with ground meat, tomatoes, and sometimes milk or wine. It's simmered slowly for hours to develop deep flavors. On the other hand, Sunday gravy, also known as tomato sauce, is Italian-American and often includes meat like sausage, meatballs, and sometimes ribs, cooked in tomatoes and herbs for a richer, heartier sauce. The main differences lie in the ingredients and cooking method. Enjoy experimenting with both!
