Lasagne Recipe

Lasagne Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ragu

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened.

2. 2

   Add the ground pork, veal, and beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon.

3. 3

   Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and red wine. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   Make the Pasta

   In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic and let rest for 30 minutes.

5. 5

   Prepare the Béchamel Sauce

   In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth. Cook until thickened, then season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

6. 6

   Roll the Pasta

   Divide the rested dough into four pieces. Roll each piece out thinly using a pasta machine or a rolling pin.

7. 7

   Assemble the Lasagne

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread a layer of ragu on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer pasta sheets, béchamel sauce, and ragu. Repeat layers, finishing with béchamel and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top.

   Bake

   Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
