"We gave this comforting cheesy dish a fancy look by piping the mash, but it will taste just as good if you simply spoon it over the mince." - Lucy Nunes

"Don’t be put off by the number of ingredients. Focus on the sauce - which is done in no time and is the key to this dish - then use up whatever vegies and mince you love or have on hand. This dish is served at room temperature, so there’s no need to stress when preparing each element." – Lucy Nunes

"Neapolitan lasagne is a dish that I grew up eating on Christmas Day. This is my favourite type of lasagne. Unlike lasagne bolognese, made with meat sauce and bechamel, the Neapolitan version is made with sausage, meatballs, ricotta, mozzarella and hard-boiled eggs." – Federica Andrisani

“From start to finish, this bolognese is made in one roasting pan – the pasta cooks directly in the sauce. It may seem counterintuitive to chop dried manicotti or cannelloni, but there is a method to the madness: it’s nearly impossible to break the dried pasta in half exactly, so you end up with some shards, which become lovely and crisp, and some tubes, which hold the sauce very nicely. The kick and thick consistency of the Tunisian harissa brand Le Phare du Cap Bon is especially nice, but any kind will work – just note that the spice level and texture of the final dish will reflect the harissa you choose. Sprinkle this dish with additional cheese before serving, if you’d like” – Yotam Ottolenghi.

We can bet you’ve never had bolognese like this before.
