Red Wine Lamb Ragu

September 19, 2015

Sometimes, after a long day, the only thing that will suffice is comfort food. Good, carb-heavy, rich comfort food. This spaghetti topped with red wine lamb ragu is exactly the kind of thing that hits that spot.

This saucy, meaty dish is kind of like an upgrade on regular bolognese. Lamb has a much more robust flavour than beef, which means it stands up well to the strong garlic flavour (have I mentioned how much I love garlic before!?). It also adds a fatty richness whilst the acidic red wine balances this out for a perfectly rounded sauce.

This whole delicious recipe is made entirely from ingredients in the Waitrose Duchy organic range, which I mentioned in my recent post about eating organic. I don’t often cook with lamb these days but this recipe has me converted. It’s such a flavoursome meat and works so well in hearty, warming meals like this. Autumn, I’m ready for you!

Obviously, this tastes perfect on top of a big bowl of spaghetti, topped with plenty parmesan for good measure. It would also work great as a lasagne filling. Can’t go far wrong with the holy trinity of food that is carbs + sauce + cheese!

    Spag Bol with lamb. That might be a stroke of genius!!

    For comfort foods, I can’t look much further than a Babby’s Yead, or a steak & kidney pudding if you grew up outside of Lancashire. Serve with chips or mash and mushy peas. The name Babby’s Yead is a distortion of ‘baby’s head’ after which a steak & kidney pudding is said to resemble. What could be more delicious! 😉
