Lasagne al Forno Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until soft. Add ground beef, cook until browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Simmer for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Bechamel Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk, cooking until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Lasagne

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce. Place 3 lasagna sheets on top, followed by a layer of ricotta cheese, a layer of bechamel sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with bechamel and a sprinkle of Parmesan on top.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbling. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
