Step cooking
- Peel one onion and one carrot. Wash and cut into small cubes.
- We wash two stalks of celery and also cut into small cubes.
- Pour 30 grams of olive oil into a large pan with a thick bottom (suitable for frying) and put on the stove. If you do not have such a pan, then you can use a large non-stick pan with high sides. When the oil is heated, put chopped onions in it. Fry until transparent.
- Add celery and carrots to the onion. Fry until cooked.
- When the vegetables are ready, add 500 grams of ground beef to them. It can also be replaced with pork and beef. Cook until the minced meat changes its color to gray.
- Add 100 grams of dry red wine to the pan, mix all the ingredients and simmer for 7-10 minutes.
- Add 150 grams of meat broth, mix everything again, cover and simmer for half an hour.
- We put 400 grams of mashed tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste, stir and simmer for an hour.
- We bind two leaves of leek, a sprig of thyme and a sprig of sage.
- Pour one liter of milk into the pan and set it on the stove to heat.
- We clean and wash one onion. In the milk we put the bound spicy herbs and a whole onion. When the milk is thoroughly saturated with spices and onions, take them out.
- We put 110 grams of wheat flour on a heated large non-stick pan with sides. Fry it until a nutty smell appears.
- Add 100 grams of butter to the flour and mix well.
- When these two ingredients are combined, we begin to pour the heated milk into the pan portionwise. We add the next portion only when the previous one is completely absorbed.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg, 50 grams of grated cheddar cheese and leave to boil a little over low heat.
- When both sauces have cooled, pour ladle of bolognese sauce onto the bottom of a glass baking dish with sides.
- On top, lay out the right amount of dry sheets for lasagna. They should cover the whole sauce.
- Pour in half a ladle of bechamel sauce. Put the mozzarella slices and sprinkle with grated parmesan.
- Again a layer of sheets for lasagna, bolognese sauce, bechamel sauce, mozzarella and parmesan.
- A layer of lasagna sheets, bechamel sauce, remaining mozzarella and remaining parmesan.
- Cover the baking dish with foil. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and set our lasagna to bake for 35-40 minutes.
- We take out the finished dish from the oven, divide into portions and serve.
