Serves 2
 2 meaty lamb shanks
 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
 1/2 Tbsp butter 
 1 jar commercial spaghetti sauce
 olives (optional)
 canned mushrooms (optional)
 pearl onions (optional)
 sliced carrots (optional)
 Preheat oven to 350. On stove top, heat an oven-safe pan over
 medium-high heat.  When it is hot, add oil and butter. When it is
 smoking hot, add lamb shanks and sear to brown on all sides. (That
 means don't move it unless you're planning to turn it.) Remove from
 heat and drain off remaining fat. Add spaghetti sauce and optional
 ingredients. Cover pan tightly and place in oven. Bake for 1 to 1
 1/2 hours, or until lamb is done and tender. Serve over hot noodles.
