    I served a prime rib for Christmas, but had a bunch of kids in the house and I knew they wouldn’t love a nice pink roast, so we made a bolognese for the kids. Then the adults ended up stealing it all night cause it was great.

    But mine didn’t look like that.

    Great picture. Damn near pro looking.

      Thanks! I usually do a prime rib, but decided to switch it up this year and do pastas. I made this, a mac & cheese, and some crab dip as an appetizer. I’m still bursting at the seems 12 hours later, but it was worth it.

    This looks amazing. But it also reminds me of Hamburger Helper, in which case it’s still amazing.

    I might be drunk and hungry, for the record.

      Fair.

      Also fair.

        It was only fair that I specify based on visual appearance alone. I’m very sure that the bolognese was a million times better taste-wise and I’m extremely jealous that you got to experience this amazing dish.

        I do also have to say that I had to grow up with a diet that quite often included some form of hamburger helper and it’s not bad in the least, especially when you’re a kid cooking dinner for your family.

        That said, refer to my initial comment that your dish is a million times better.

    The Bolognese and Parmigiano look great, the pasta seems overcooked.
