Until I came across Ina Gartens recipe forWeeknight Bolognese.

I usually makelasagnafor my husbands birthday, but one year I wasnt up for the task.

I remember telling my friend that I needed a pasta dish that was easy but also felt special.

My husband loved it!

Its a winner and is now a staple in my roster of recipes.

Her recipe starts by browning ground sirloin in a large pot.
