The above will be accompanied with, aside from the honey-glazed carrots (as pictured above), hasselback potatoes and buttered baby spinach leaves. Today's specially-selected wine is a rather nice 2013 Brouilly, which we brought back from France a couple of years ago, and should marry well with the lamb:

Laters, muchachos! :cheers:

Is Del 'christening' the new kitchen Marco?

Partly, lol...

She's mastered the induction hob, but still getting to grips with the 60-odd different functions the main oven has [not to mention the combination steamer-microwave]...! :doh:

The lamb turned out lovely, though (and the wine was superb) :)

I know, but there was not too much:) for a shop bought it was actually decent... nothing like homemade mind

Cool... :)

The best supermarket lasagne I've found is Sainsbury's 'Taste the Difference', as it contains the right amount of pasta to sauce, and most importantly (if lasagne has been faithfully reproduced), when you cut through it, it'll be nicely layered like a thick 'cake', subsequently between pasta sheets, bechamel sauce and meat sauce.

I can't stand it when so-called 'lasagne' comes out of a container, just like one big slop, basically because it's too 'wet' (too much sauce and not enough pasta)...

This is what a proper Italian lasagne should look like:

And so you eat that with a fork, not a spoon! ;)

Marco.

i like a lot of pasta too, and like some burnt crispness to top layer :eyebrows: plenty foot cheese too;)

Lol... The pic above is the *only* way you'll ever see lasagne served in Italy, or for that matter in an Italian household :)

Oh, and it it'll never *EVER* be served with chips or garlic bread (as you often see it here)!!! Maybe a green side-salad, tops.....

Marco.

Never eaten 'proper' Lasagne. Dunno why not, it's just never come my way. Mind you, if it always has meat content, maybe people have avoided suggesting it to me.
