Dinner last night

by Alan Wolfe » Fri May 01, 2009 9:08 am

I made Jenise' Lasagne Bolognese for dinner last night. Substituted turkey for veal (we don't get ground veal here, ever) and half & half for milk because that's what was in the fridge. We aren't foodies and usually dine pretty simply, so this was a minor event for us. It was, as it always is, very tasty with a green salad and a dry Seyval.

Can't miss with a good lasagna recipe! (Not to mention a good seyval...)

Alan, thanks for the props, but before going further I must mention that this was a Mario Batali recipe that I gleaned from Gourmet or one of those magazines while sitting in a dentist's office. Best I've ever had.

As for how you made it, I'm sure the turkey substituted nicely. Pork would as well, if you're not worried about swine flu. :) And as for events--this is one seriously labor intensive dish, and it would be an event in anyone's kitchen. Good for you for being willing to go through that for the reward--though it's like having a baby I think. The result's so grand, once you're in front of your 'baby' you forget all the pain. :)
