I found the Bolognese Sauce needs a little bit of stirring before running the simmer program, otherwise it didn't seem to all mix in properly. This recipe definitely makes lasagna quicker and easier than it used to be.

I only made the bolognaise sauce. This sauce is adequate for a busy week night - great to be making a dinner not relying on processed jars of food -- but overall flavour lacked depth in comparison with my stove top stalwart recipe. Would recommend others feel comfortable going off piste adding other ingredients to bump up the flavour.

Nice but needs a bit more richness and tomatoiness, will try this recipe again with a few changes
