Lasagne al forno
Classic and Iconic: Recipe for Classic Lasagna with Bolognese Sauce
This casserole is one of the most popular Italian pasta recipes. It is prepared with thin pasta sheets, which are layered in alternation with ragout and béchamel sauce in a casserole dish. The dish is even easier to prepare using fresh pasta.
Ingredients
For the ragout:
3 cans ORO di Parma chopped tomatoes with herbs
5-6 tbsp. ORO di Parma tomato paste with basil
600 g minced beef (roughly minced)
200 g pancetta (cured pork belly)
2-3 carrots
150 g celery sticks
2-3 onions
200 ml dry white wine
A small quantity of vegetable bouillon
200 ml full-cream milk
2 tbsp. olive oil
Salt, pepper
For the béchamel sauce:
100 g butter
100 g flour
800 ml milk
1 pinch nutmeg
3 bay leaves
Salt, pepper
For the layering:
400 g lasagne sheets
3 balls of mozzarella
Step 1 : The preparation
For the ragù alla bolognese, chop the pancetta, onions, carrots and celery. Take the mozzarella out of the package and cut it into slices. This will later be used to top the lasagna.
Step 2 : The ragú alla bolognese
Heated olive oil in a pot. Sauté the pancetta, onions, carrots and celery in it. Take the vegetables out of the pot and put them aside. Now add the minced meat to the pot at high temperature with olive oil. Add tomato paste with basil and add the vegetables again. Deglaze the sauce with white wine and wait for the liquid to evaporate. Now add the chunky tomatoes with herbs as well as broth. Let everything simmer on low heat for at least 2 hours and then add milk, salt and pepper so that all the flavors develop perfectly.
Step 3 : The bechamel sauce
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add flour and gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Add bay leaves and nutmeg and bring to a boil. Finally, season your bechamel sauce with salt and pepper. Do not forget to remove the bay leaves!
Step 4 : The final
Now it's time for layering: Add bechamel sauce, lasagna sheets and ragù one by one in the baking dish. Repeat until it is well filled. Top the lasagna with slices of mozzarella and bake at about 190 °C for 25 minutes until golden brown.
Cut your bubbling lasagna into pieces in the mold and serve it directly on the plate. Heavenly!
