Hey everyone, welcome to our recipe site.it’s Trevor Lambert. Today, we’re going to make a special dish, lasagna. One of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I am going to make it a bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
Lasagna is one of the most popular of recent trending foods in the world. It is simple, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. It is enjoyed by millions every day. They are fine and they look fantastic. Lasagna is something that I have loved my whole life.
To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have lasagna using 17 ingredients and 14 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Lasagna:
- Take For the Ragú (meat filling)
- Take 1 medium red onion
- Get 1 medium carrot
- Prepare 2 cloves garlic
- Prepare 1 laurel leave
- Make ready 700 gr minced beef (can also be mix of pork and beef)
- Make ready 1 kg passata di pomodoro (better with basil)
- Make ready 4 tbsp concentrate tomato paste
- Make ready 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
- Prepare 3-4 tbsp olive oil
- Make ready 1-2 glasses red wine
- Get 1 gentle cube of butter (for the oven plate)
- Prepare For Lasagna:
- Get 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)
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 ;)
