Preparation steps for Italian lasagna
- 1 Prepare the meat sauce: Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan, add 2 chopped onions and 4 cloves of garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent. Add 1 kg of ground beef and cook until evenly browned. Then add 800 g of tomato sauce, 4 tablespoons of tomato paste, 2 teaspoons of dried oregano, 1 pinch of salt, and 1 pinch of pepper. Let the sauce simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes.
- 2 Prepare the béchamel sauce: In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and add 4 tablespoons of flour. Stir until a light roux forms. Gradually pour in 1 liter of milk, stirring continuously until a smooth sauce forms. Season with 1 pinch of salt, 1 pinch of pepper, and 1 pinch of grated nutmeg. Cook over low heat until the sauce thickens.
- 3 Layering the lasagna: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Spread a layer of meat sauce at the bottom of a baking dish, place lasagna sheets on top, followed by a layer of béchamel sauce, and sprinkle with some of the 300 g of mozzarella. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used up. The final layer should be béchamel sauce topped with 100 g of Parmesan and the remaining mozzarella.
- 4 Baking: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the top turns golden brown and bubbly.
- 5 Serve: Let the lasagna rest for about 10 minutes after removing it from the oven, then serve. Garnish with fresh basil to taste.
