Simple Lasagna with Hearty Tomato Meat Sauce : page 130
The first time I made this I thought that the cream took away the tomatoey taste I expect from Lasagna. The second time I made it I substituted tomato sauce for the cream and I realized that I do not like the taste of the no-boil lasagna noodles. If you want to eliminate the boiling of the noodles you are better off using a no-boil recipe with regular noodles that you can get off of noodle boxes, spaghetti sauce jars or the internet. However, mMy familiy liked it just fine.

Beef Burgundy : page 136
Very delicious, the sauce particulary had a complex flavor. However, I used top round instead of the beef chuck, and this leaner meat did not do as well. I had to cook it much longer than the recipe called for and the meat was still not as tender as I would have liked. Cooking the pearl onions and mushrooms separately ensured that they were not mushy. It was nice to use frozen pearl onions and not have to do all that peeling. I would try this again as a hearty winter comfort food.
