Hi Rosie! I have two stock pots I can split the ragu between on the stove, but my oven is too small to fit both inside. How can I adjust the cooking time to bake the ragu in just one dutch oven? Will the mix even fit into my 5-litre dish? I already bought all the meat so I'm hoping I don't have to half the recipe.
Hey Zak! I think the best thing to do is cook it on the stove on a low, gentle heat in two pots, it might take a bit longer but will be a more even cook. If you try to fit it all tightly into one pot you might struggle! I often split between two and stove it, so I know that definitely works. Make sure you have tight fitting lids for your pots and if you are worried about liquid escaping use a layer of baking paper between the lid and the ragu for extra security. Hope this is helpful! X
Hi, just returning much later to say that I made the ragu and the gremolata (plus your spinach, ricotta and prosciutto crostini) for a big ol' dinner party and people LOVED it. And cooking it in two pots was perfect, thanks so much.

Yay! The best news! So pleased!
I didn’t even consider just doing stovetop instead, that’s so helpful. Thanks so much!
The ragu - not everything 😳
Making this for the third time today!
Epic! Merry Christmas ❤️
