Do you keep your lasagna bolognese as simple as possible or do you also add vegetables and other "fancy" stuff to it?
I've been told before that lasagna without carrots for example is boring or bland, which I don't really understand. I prefer it as simple as possible

It's not bolognese if it doesn't include a mirepoix. But lasagna with a different meat sauce is still pretty good.

I always add some finely grated carrot to my Bolognese as it gives the sauce a better consistency.
I use a modified version of matty mathesons recipe. less fucking oil and cheese and when I feel cheeky I add in a very finely cut bellpepper. Also use half the ingredients because I don't have a dish that big.
It's bretty gud if you eat it with a salad. Includes very finely grated carrot, onion, garlic and tomato puree as vegetables, and fresh parsley.
i usually do a simple vegetarian
if i'm feeling fancy i'll put spinach or mushrooms in the ricotta

why not just puree the lot and use a hose and funnel to pour it right into your fat gullet?
As others have pointed out, there is no such thing as a bolognese without carrots.
As for other vegetables, like spinach or artichokes or whatever the fuck people keep trying to put in there, I am totally against it. I don't necessarily think that lasanga has to be as barely simple as possible, but it can definitely be overdone and become too "chunky" with so many different elements. There should be a a kind of consistency. I fucking hate it when a lasagna seems dry and/or stringy. But it shouldn't be mushy either (even though I love me some Stouffers', but that's a totally different beast I don't even think of as real lasagna).
