Our “What’s for Dinner” series is designed to equip you for the weeknight rush, but sometimes – especially this time of year — we aren’t in a rush. We might even have all day to cook — we might play hooky, get a snow day, or stay home with a sick kid, like I did on Friday.

I used the opportunity to start a version of traditional lasagne bolognese — no shortcuts. I slow cooked the namesake sauce, perfuming the house all day; then, on Saturday, I made the spinach pasta; yesterday morning I whisked the béchamel; and last night I put it all together and had some friends over.
