It's grilled chicken with bow tie pasta with your choice of marinara or Alfredo sauce.

That should be a jailable offense.

If American restaurants don't want to make bolognese correctly, why offer it at all?

I’m sure your study abroad in Florence made you an expert on all things Italian. But do get over yourself. You sound insufferable.

This isn’t a Google situation. OP has views on what’s authentic. She should tell us what it is.

What did you Google? "bolognese recipe that OP considers sufficiently authentic"

How does Google know who OP is?
And how did you know which result to choose?

I went to a “Chinese” restaurant in Italy that used spaghetti for all noodle dishes, so let’s call it even.

If it's not from Bologna in Italy they have to call it sparkling pasta.

In addition, the recipe PP posed calls for "bacon" when it should be Pancetta.

Can you read, or did the paint chips you ate as a kid damage your feeble brain? That recipe is literally the official recipe from the city of Bologna itself.

Dumb. Take it up with the Italians if you have a problem with them calling it "bacon". Literally from Bologna's website.

Ahhhhh, I love it when dumb Americans try to correct people who invented the dishes.

Restaurants adapt cuisine to regional tastes. If the ground beef + tomato sauce meal is selling, why would they mess with it?
See: Saizeriya in Japan. Super-popular "Italian" restaurant adorned with plastic grapes and murals of the Coliseum with no food an Italian would recognize as authentic.
Or Chinese food... American customers aren't interested in chicken feet or pig ears so they don't sell that here, though it's authentically Chinese.

Sniffs. It doesn't look as good as my bolognese recipe, which is from a bona fide Italian countess, who go it from her mother's cook but left out the liver as she didn't like liver.
