Meat Lasagna

Lasagna is a popular Italian dish consisting of layers of pasta, meat sauce, béchamel sauce, and cheese. It is a rich, filling, and incredibly delicious dish that you can customize to your own taste.

 

Ingredients

• 500 g minced beef (or a mixture of beef and pork)

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves of garlic

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

• 400 g of peeled tomatoes or tomato sauce

• 1 dl of water or stock

• salt and pepper

• 1 teaspoon of oregano

• 1 teaspoon of basil

 

For the béchamel

• 50 g of butter

• 50 g of flour

• 500 ml of milk

• 150 g grated cheese

• a pinch of nutmeg, salt

 

Other

• 9–12 lasagna sheets

• 200–250 g of grated cheese (gouda, edamame or mozzarella)

• a little parmesan (optional)

 

Preparation

Meat sauce

Fry the onion in oil until soft. Add the garlic and fry for another minute.

Add the minced meat and brown it well. Stir in the pellates, spices and water.

Cook over low heat for about 30 minutes until the sauce thickens.

 

Béchamel

Melt the butter. Add the flour and stir for about 1 minute.

Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Cook until the sauce thickens.

Season with salt and nutmeg. Add the grated cheese and mix everything well.

 

Assembly

Layer the following layers into the baking dish:

1. lasagna sheets,

2. meat sauce,

3. béchamel,

4. a little cheese.

Repeat until all ingredients are used up. Finish with béchamel and cheese.

 

Baking

• Bake at 180 °C for about 35–45 minutes.

• Let rest for 10–15 minutes after baking to make it easier to cut.

 

Tip

For even better flavor, prepare the lasagna a few hours or even a day in advance. Resting allows the flavors to meld and the layers to stick together better.
