    Pardon the pun, but that’s baloney. According to Italian Academy of Cuisine, classic bolognese is:

    beef cut from the plate section (cartella di manzo), fresh unsmoked pancetta (pancetta di maiale distesa), onions, carrot, celery, passata (or tomato purée), meat broth, dry white wine, milk, salt and pepper

    It is true that the original recipe for bolognese does not include tomato, I still wouldn’t call a sauce that happens to include milk “milk sauce”. It’s primarily a meat and vegetable sauce in both cases.

      Seems a little pedantic, considering the base of the sauce is primarily milk with some white wine. Perhaps I should have said milk based sauce instead.

        the base of the sauce is primarily milk

        It isn’t, in any recognized version of the recipe. The original recorded recipe contains no milk at all. Some versions contain milk along with broth and wine, the broth being the primary liquid in the sauce.
