Hey everyone, Welcome to my recipe page. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, lasagna. One of my favorites. For mine, I’m gonna make it a little bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
Lasagne are a type of wide, flat pasta, possibly one of the oldest types of pasta. Lasagne, or the singular lasagna, is an Italian dish made of stacked layers of thin flat pasta alternating with fillings. The ultimate comfort food lasagna, with layers of rich homemade meat sauce, creamy béchamel sauce , noodles , cheese and fresh mozzarella.
Lasagna is one of the most popular of current trending meals on earth. It is enjoyed by millions every day. It is easy, it is quick, it tastes yummy. They’re nice and they look wonderful. Lasagna is something which I have loved my entire life.
To get started with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have lasagna using 17 ingredients and 14 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Lasagna:
- For the Ragú (meat filling)
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 laurel leave
- 700 gr minced beef (can also be mix of pork and beef)
- 1 kg passata di pomodoro (better with basil)
- 4 tbsp concentrate tomato paste
- 1 mozzarella di bufala (optional but soooo much better ;P)
- Grated parmigiano reggiano (enough to cover 3-4 layers in your oven plate)
- 1-2 stock cubes (meat) - can be replaced by salt and pepper
- 3-4 tbsp olive oil
- 1-2 glasses red wine
- 1 gentle cube of butter (for the oven plate)
- For Lasagna:
- Béchamel (enough to slightly cover every layer): this is optional and you can get your favorite recipe from cookpad ;)
- Dry lasagna pasta (deCecco, Opera or other brand recommended by an italian or found in italian food store - preferably that does not need previous cooking)
It is possibly one of the most loved foods in the whole wide world, and There is just something so sentimental about lasagna, so comforting. Classic Lasagna is great for feeding a crowd, and also freezes well for new mom meals and quick thaw dinners. I've been making lasagna for a long time, and there are quite a few variables to play with. Zucchini lasagna is a fresh take on a classic comfort food dish.
Instructions to make Lasagna:
- For Bolognese:
- Grind onion, carrot and garlic, small but not to a paste
- Put oil in big frying pan (enough to cover the whole surface), medium fire
- Pour the ground vegetables and cook until carrot is tender (~5min)
- Add meat, let it cook a bit and then add the red wine (just enough to cover the meat, 1 glass should be enough but depends on your frying pan size)
- When red wine has been absorbed, add the stock cubes (or salt and pepper) and mix well
- Add the passata di pomodoro, the concentrate tomato paste and the laurel leave. Cover the pan and let it cook in low fire until done (at least 1h)
- The Lasagna magic:
- Heat oven at 170C (~340F)
- Rub butter all around the surface of your deep oven plate
- Put a layer of dry lasagne pasta, one of bolognese, a bit of béchamel, a bit of the mozzarela di buffala and enough grated parmigiano to slightly cover the layer. Repeat until the oven plate is full (usually 3-4 layers). The top layer has pasta, then just béchamel and parmigiano on the top
- Put in oven and let cook the time and heat the pasta instructions say (usually 170C/340F, 30 min, both up & down)
- Change to gratin mode for the last 5 minutes for an extra touch
- If you can resist, leave it rest a bit after heating… Lasagna is better the more time the pasta has to absorb the bolognese ;)
It's gluten-free, low-carb, keto-friendly and loaded with veggies, but still has the rich flavors and scrumptious texture of a traditional lasagna.
