  1. Leek and asparagus in a Béchamel with cheese and mustard does work I would guess. But I don’t think it works well with gratinating with pasta. I think something like prefried potato would have worked much better (because it does not dry out the dish as much). I don‘t think having the beans and peas would work too well with the asparagus. Also I don’t really see the point of avoiding using a second pot for a dish that takes so much effort in the first place. Everything you have to bake leaves you a lot of time for cleaning up a pot.

  2. I remember watching your reaction to this abomination. That isn't lasagna, regardless of how many times Jamie calls it that. Lasagna is a layered pasta dish. That is just a soupy mess with some torn Lasagna sheets thrown on top.

  3. I think many people get the wrong idea of Jamie. He has never been a chefs cook. He’s a home cook. I’m a chef of 15 years and I think no he’s brilliant at making cooking real and delicious and realistic for people who are not chefs.
    Of course a lasagne would taste better with meat in it…duh?
    He has created a vegetarian version of something that is absolutely carni.
    The fact that you didn’t even use the same ingredients and still bitch about it… nah.

  4. Thank you for stepping up! But please don’t make any of his recipes again! 😂 😂😂😂

  5. You at least used some solid technique. Jamie Oliver reminds me of a frat boy. I think mint and pasta would be weird even if it does pass as edible. Yes, I know basil is a mint but it isn't mint.

  6. Hi James, I'm with Jamie on frozen veg. We'd all love the fresh stuff, but it's a lot more EXPENSIVE. I also like English mustard. That's what came out of the dragon when St George was done with it ! Regarding asparagus : when I was a kid and had my first taste of asparagus and gone for a pee, I was about to tell my mum to call an ambulance. Something didn't smell right. It was 'orrible ! Never happened after I'd had the old mulligatawny soup. Hope this doesn't get your channel shadow-banned, ha ha ! All the best, Makinson !

  7. i actually like to cut the leeks a bit higher off the root, then I plant them. at the very least I can get seeds out of them, if not some stock-leaves.

  8. most of the woodiness of asparagus is in the peel. You can actually peel off where the toughness is, leaving a sweet interior that steams to soft and cooked just as fast as the rest of the asparagrass. If your asparagas is very thick, I'd recommend peeling. Then use the peel for stock. If it's thinner than a pencil, might not be worth it.

  9. broad beans? All that's missing is some guy's liver and a nice chianti 😛 [/Silence Of The Lambs Hannibal Lecter ]

  10. Most one pan meal recipes can be summarized in three steps. 1. Take what crap you got. 2. Throw it in a pot. 3. Cook it 'til it's hot. (Optional 4. Try not to gag.)

  11. Just saw it and i am writing this before you've tasted it.

    I just need 2 words what i think this will taste like:
    Too much.

    Almonds, leek and cream/cheese.
    Great.
    Asparagus instead of leak? Great too.
    But as a casserole with like half dozen other flavours?
    Its too much.
    Its like a child just throw things together that were at hand.

    And calling it lasagna is just the worst…

    Just cook asparagus. The leek-cream sauce at the side and add pasta(like fussilli) or, if you ask me, tge better option: rice and it would be the much better dish…

  12. Clarified butter has a higher oxidation point than butter or that processed garbage. Olive oil tastes great as a garnish, but always use extra virgin olive oil, and never cook with it due to its low oxidation point.

  13. My veggie lasagna is alfredo sauce, ricotta with an egg or two and some dried basil, wilted spinach, and sauteed mushrooms.
    Simple, but still flavorful

  14. Melty, cheesy and lacking good flavors. You can save it with a boat load of chicken powder, butter and mushrooms.

  15. 11:46 Tagleeatelly? James, your Italian pronunciation is little bit funny! TAGLIATELLE is pronunced as "Tah-lyah-tel-leh", not "Ta-gleea-tel-ly" Vincenzo said that

  16. Actually, I think the dish tastes pretty bland. Just salt and pepper and not enough of that in my opinion. I would at least add a little broth or stock. But in principle I can imagine that you can cook it in such a way that it tastes ok.

  17. Jamie comes across as a bit too preachy with ideas most working ppl don’t have time for. Oh hey Let’s build a wood fire oven around my mansion to cook this pizza
