The ingredients needed to make Lasagna:
- Take For the Ragú (meat filling)
- Take 1 medium red onion
- Make ready 1 medium carrot
- Get 2 cloves garlic
- Make ready 1 laurel leave
- Prepare 700 gr minced beef (can also be mix of pork and beef)
- Prepare 1 kg passata di pomodoro (better with basil)
- Take 4 tbsp concentrate tomato paste
- Get 1 mozzarella di bufala (optional but soooo much better ;P)
- Make ready Grated parmigiano reggiano (enough to cover 3-4 layers in your oven plate)
- Make ready 1-2 stock cubes (meat) - can be replaced by salt and pepper
- Get 3-4 tbsp olive oil
- Get 1-2 glasses red wine
- Prepare 1 gentle cube of butter (for the oven plate)
- Get For Lasagna:
- Make ready Béchamel (enough to slightly cover every layer): this is optional and you can get your favorite recipe from cookpad ;)
- Take 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)
Lay down the second third of noodles. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble beef and sausage until no longer pink; drain. Cook the noodles "al dente" so they'll still have quite a bite to them. When they're finished cooking, drain, rinse with cool water, and lay the noodles flat on a sheet of aluminum foil.
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 ;)
