Step 1 Make the Meat Sauce Step 2 In a large pan, heat the oil to medium high heat. Add the beef and break it up. Add garlic salt and pepper, break it up some more. When the beef is halfway done, add the onion. Sauté until beef is brown and onions are translucent. Add the crushed garlic. Stir for one minute, add the bouillon and allspice. Add the tomato paste and let caramelize for 3 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and hot water until the perfect consistency is achieved (1-1.5 cups), like a good pasta sauce. Cover and simmer on low for 20 minutes. Stir in the pesto and set aside. Step 3 In a shallow dish, lay down the lasagna noodles and soak with boiling water for 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally. Step 4 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Step 5 Make the Béchamel Step 6 On medium high heat, melt butter in a small pot. Once melted and bubbly, whisk in the flour. Cook the flour until it is a nutty colour, about 3-4 minutes, whisking occasionally. Add the milk in thirds and whisk vigorously to ensure a smooth sauce. Once the sauce is smooth and just comes to a boil, remove from the heat. Add the Parmesan, whisk until smooth. Add the ricotta, whisk until smooth. Add the seasoning, whisk until smooth. Set aside. Step 7 In a 9×13 baking dish, start by adding a thin layer of meat sauce to the bottom. Layer the noodles, meat sauce then Béchamel. Smooth out the meat sauce over the noodles and the drizzle the Béchamel over. It does not need to be perfect, do not try to smooth the Béchamel or the 2 sauces will combine. You should get 3 layers ending with the Béchamel on top. Step 8 Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Step 9 Bake for 40-60 minutes, until golden on top and the sides are bubbling. Step 10 Let the lasagna sit for 15 minutes before cutting. Serve with garlic bread and Italian salad. Enjoy!
