| Question for you food experts - I have ground lamb thawing in the fridge. Do you think I could throw it in with an onion and tomato sauce to make a sort of lamb bolognese, or will it be too gamey? |

| I would love that, but I love lamb and don't find it too gamey in just about anything. NY Times cooking has a recipe for pasta with ground lamb ragu. |

I am also a lamb lover, so this would be a big heck ya for me.
Maybe look at some bigger spices to keep up with the lamb, instead of a subtle bolognese do more of a greek style. I make something similar to this recipe, but JUST the lamb meat sauce. Serve over mash or with pasta. https://www.recipetineats.com/moussaka-greek-eggplant-beef-bake |

| Ya we make lamb or bison bolognese and it’s great. Lamb meatballs is another option. |

| I love lamb, and I love bolognese, and I think what you are describing would be fine, but I'd choose to do something that highlights the flavor a little more? I would worry that in a bolognese the lamb flavor that is so delicious would get lost and it would taste like regular bolognese. |

OP, just sharing if you want another idea for next time. My family loves this ground lamb recipe:

So I found rice paper in my pantry so I’m switching to a caramelized lamb roll with some sautéed veg added and gochujang sauce… I usually make the rolls with caramelized pork so who knows how it will go! |

I think we eat ground lamb once a week now that Aldi carries it. Almost always meatballs or kebabs though.
I’m eager to hear how your Bolognese goes. |

| Ina has baked pasta with lamb ragu recipe, as well as a pastitsio - both of these are similar to what you're describing, and quite delicious. |

I'd make a shepherd's pie, but the Ina recipe sounds interesting.
