What's that?

An Italian pasta dish made with ground beef (though I used a mix of beef, pork and venison), carrots, onion, celery, some red wine and lots and lots of tomatoes, simmered and reduced slowly over low heat for a couple hours before you top it off with some basil and grated parmesan cheese.
Absolutely delicious stuff!

The name is ragù alla bolognese, pasta bolognese looks like pasta Alfredo in the US.

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding your message here, but I, uh... I have no idea why you would get semantic on this as though that matters, but okay then, let's get semantic.

Ragù alla bolognese is specifically the name of the sauce on its own (Ragù being an Italian term referring to meat- or vegetable-based sauces and Bolognese referring to the city of Bologna, where this sauce originates) though in practice the full name is rarely used outside of Italy (or on pre-cooked sauce packaging) - instead, you'll usually find it referred to simply as bolognese or bolognese sauce.
Now, put bolognese on pasta and the resulting dish you get is then referred to as pasta (or whichever specific kind of pasta you're using) bolognese.
Or, to be even more strictly accurate, pasta á la bolognese.

(There's also an argument to be made that only a VERY specific version of the sauce which includes pancetta and milk and doesn't use olive oil actually qualifies as "true" ragù alla bolognese - which mine certainly wasn't - but while I personally find that distinction interesting to read up on, that's neither here nor there.)

Or did I misread you entirely? Did you mean that the term is regularly misused in the US?
Oh and since you bring up pasta Alfredo - I thought that was a cheese-based sauce? Or do I have that confused with something else?

Semantic or not, words matter.
In Italy it's called pasta al ragù, that's what I meant.
