lasagna bolognese

Lasagna Bolognese is a classic baked dish typical of Italian cuisine, in particular from Emilia Romagna and specifically from Bologna city. Which is why it’s called Lasagne alle Bolognese. Made with fresh egg pasta, in the shape of rectangles called “Lasagna”. First you lay them in a lasagna pan then cover with meat sauce (Bolognese), bechamel and parmigiano, layer by layer. Finally cook lasagna in the oven, where all the ingredients are combined together.

Lasagna Bolognese Recipe | Lasagne alla Bolognese

300 g (10 oz) of ground beef

150 g (5 oz) of sliced pancetta

carrot

celery

g (1,70 oz) of onion

tomato passata

100 ml of dry white wine

100 ml of whole milk

300 ml of meat stock

extra virgin olive oil

salt and pepper

lasagna noodles

500 ml of whole milk

unsalted butter (1,7 oz)

all-purpose flour (1,7 oz)

nutmeg

Make Bolognese sauce

First cut the carrot, celery and onion in very tiny pieces and set aside. Then cut the pancetta as finely as possible with a sharp knife or a food processor. Now place the minced pancetta in a saucepan. Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon from time to time.

Cook the vegetables

Add the extra virgin olive oil and the finely chopped vegetables. Stir and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring. Then add the ground beef.

Cook the meat

Stir and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. Now put the heat on high and add the white wine. Stir and let it evaporate.

Cook two hours

Finally add the tomato passata. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for about 2 hours, adding broth when needed. Towards the end, add the milk to dampen the acidity of the tomato. Season with salt and pepper. Bolognese Sauce is ready when you can see an oily, creamy sauce on the surface.

Make Bechamel

In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat then add the flour – using a flour sieve – while mixing QUICKLY with a whisk. Cook for 30 sec/1 min stirring, so the flour becomes tastier and absorb the butter fats. The mixture of butter and flour is called roux and it should be a nice golden color. Now set aside and let it cool. Meanwhile heat the milk, without bringing to a boil.

Stir

Pour the milk slowly over the roux, while stirring vigorously with a whisk to prevent the formation of lumps. When the milk is completely poured over the roux sauce, put the saucepan back on low heat. Keep mixing constantly, until you have a fairly thick consistency (about 10/15 minutes). The sauce is ready when it sticks to the back of a wooden spoon. Finally, add a pinch of fine salt and grated nutmeg to taste.

Make lasagna bolognese

Spread on the bottom of a baking dish two tablespoons of bechamel. Then put lasagna noodles over it, trying to cover the entire bottom of the pan. If one lasagna is not enough for you, use another one, whole or in half, depending on the size of the lasagna. Layer on two tablespoons of bolognese sauce and two of bechamel sauce.

Make Layers

With the help of a tablespoon, cover the entire surface of the lasagna. In the end, sprinkle two tablespoons of grated Parmigiano. Repeat these steps for at least five layers (lasagna – bolognese sauce – bèchamel – parmigiano -repeat), in any case up to fill your baking dish.

Cook lasagna

Finish by covering the last layer with plenty of Parmigiano cheese, that cooking make a crispy crust. Bake at 190° (380 F) for about 30 minutes.Let cool Lasagna Bolognese out of the oven for 10 minutes before serving.

Lasagna Bolognese includes only fresh egg pasta, Bolognese ragù (slow-cooked meat sauce), creamy béchamel (white sauce) and plenty of grated Parmigiano cheese. The result is a melt in your mouth, creamy, decadent, and satisfying lasagna that is distinct to Italy. When you make this recipe you will feel like you are dining at an Italian trattoria on the streets of Italy. It is a recipe loved by all and bring me back to my home in Italy. This is the recipe I grew up eating at large tables filled with family, love, and laughter. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Classic Lasagna Bolognese with Bechamel Sauce

Recipe

lasagna pasta noodles

parmigiano cheese

butter

tbsp all-purpose flour all purpose

milk

parmigiano

salt

 Make the ragu sauce recipe and set aside (can be made days in advance and stored in fridge)

Make the Bechamel Sauce (can be made days in advance and stored in fridge):  In a medium saucepan on low medium heat melt the butter.

Whisk in the flour until well combined with butter. Keep whisking for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rest of ingredients: milk, nutmeg and salt and whisk everything together.

Cook for another 5 minutes and keep whisking as it gets thicker. Add the parmigiano and stir to combine. You will know it is ready when it sticks to the back of the spoon. Turn off heat and set aside.* 

Make the Bechamel Sauce (can be made days in advance and stored in fridge): Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta (6 at a time for dried pasta) until they are tender but still underdone (they will finish cooking as the lasagna bakes).

Set the al dente pasta noodles on a clean tea towels as you are layering the lasagna. Cover with another tea towel so the pasta doesn't dry out or stick together.

Grease a 9X13 rectangular baking dish with the olive oil, add a large dollop of ragu sauce and spread it around the bottom of the pan.

Put a layer of lasagna pasta (use 4-5 depending on size) in the dish (you may need to cut any excess to make them fit) top with a layer of ragu sauce, one-third of the bechamel sauce, and one-third of the parmigiano cheese (use your fingers to spread it evenly).

Season with salt and pepper if desired. Repeat this process until layers are complete ending with bechamel and cheese on top.

Bake until the lasagna is bubbling and the cheese is melted and lightly browned on top, about 30-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest a few minutes before serving, or cool completely, cover well, and refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze.

Finally a recipe that my picky husband looked up from the plate and sis this is actually good!  Easy to make, great flavor.

This is the best lasagna recipe I've tried. The béchamel sauce is life-changing. It took all my will power to resist just spooning it all straight into my mouth. It's such an easy recipe and my husband loves it!

I love the way the Bechamel blends with the flavor of the ragu sauce. It's creamy delicious and gives the lasagna the ideal texture. The simple ingredients and fail-proof tips guarantee a perfect lasagna. 100% crowd-pleaser!
