Made a meat-based and vegetarian entree to freeze and bring to the in-laws for Christmas dinner. I’ll probably have enough bolognese left over to make a New Years lasagna too.

Very time and ingredient intensive but well worth the effort.

For the bolognese – I subbed powdered gelatin for double my usual amount of frozen, concentrated chicken stock and it seemed to work just fine.
