My Lasagna Bolognese Recipe

In this post I am going to share with you my recipe for famous Lasagna Bolognese. This is the way I have been making them for years. I love cooking, it is my passion.

INGREDIENTS

Pasta sheets 

250 grams pasta sheets (fresh, dried or homemade)

                   

Bolognese sauce 

500 grams of minced meat (I prefer chicken mince)

5 tablespoons of sunflower oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon of Vegeta (food seasoning)

1/2 teaspoon of sea salt

1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon of ground sweet red pepper

250 grams tomato puree


Bechamel sauce

900 milliliters of milk

60 grams of plain flour

90 grams of butter

1 teaspoon of salt


Assembly

100 grams of finely grated Parmesan


RECIPE PREPARATION

STEP 1

Put a large saucepan on a minimum heat and add 5 tbsp sunflower oil. Add finely chopped onion and fry for 10 mins until golden. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the mince and cook stirring for 5 mins until the meat is browned all over. Add all the seasoning and tomato puree. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer, then cover with a lid. Cook until you have a thick sauce.

STEP 2

Prepare the pasta sheets following pack instructions. I like to use homemade pasta sheets.

STEP 3

Make the bechamel: Melt the butter in a wide saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and salt. Mix for 3 mins. Gradually pour in the milk and whisk until thickened (5 mins). Reduce the heat to low and whisk 10 more mins.

STEP 4

To assemble and bake lasagna, preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Spoon a thin layer of bolognese sauce on bottom of baking dish, then add a layer of pasta sheets, bechamel, bolognese sauce, Parmesan cheese, pasta sheets and repeat the process about 4 times. Finish off with a layer of bolognese sauce and Parmesan cheese on top. Bake until bubbly and golden, about 45 mins.

Let rest 20 mins before slicing and serving.
