Yes from scratch as well. First time I made a lasagne with the trusted Dolmio sauce…. I’m very pleased with myself and the family liked it better…. go figure!!

I’m glad you liked it. You’re right, the final sauce itself isn’t creamy but it has great depth of flavour. I believe the purpose of the milk is to enhance the texture of the meat.

I hope you made a bechamel sauce for your lasagne along with the ragù – the addition of layer of bechamel would certainly make the final lasagne creamy.

i tried this. it is a very good Sauce. But…. it was not what i was expecting. for some reason i was expecting a creamy sauce.(must have been the milk)… not unlike the kind from a Jar….. but none the less it was very good.

the flavour as described was great. i tried it in a lasagne very good. ( i will try it again during the week with tagliatelle. it is a favourite over here)

keep the recipes coming….

Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad you liked the post, even if the book didn’t grab you. I guess if we all liked the same things the world would be a lot less colourful.

This is an excellent post, thank you. Well written – I didn’t really engage with the book though, as you did!!

I thought it was wonderful. Dream-like in places.

Let me know when you get through your shelf and if I still have it I’ll pass it on.

I like your “reading in a recession” idea. I vowed to use my local library more; so I bought four books on Amazon yesterday!

That sounds like a fantastic read! I’ll definitely put it on my list, but I can borrow it off you I’ll have to wait quite a while before I can look at it… In an effort to save money I’ve vowed that I’m not going to buy any more books until I’ve read (and done a little blog review of – http://www.readinginarecession.com) every single thing that’s on my shelf. Might be quite a while…
Hope all is well!
Cheers,
Lora
