The quantity in the video are for a baking dish 22 x 31 cm servings for 8/10, well in my family is more for 6/7 but we love lasagna!
Ingredients Servings for 8/10
Salt
Black Pepper
Grated Parmigiano
Bolognese sauce:
500 gr minced beef
250 gr minced pork
1 celery ribs
1 onion
1 carrot
120 gr extra virgin olive oil
130 gr tomato paste
500 ml water
Bechamel Sauce
100 gr butter
100 gr all purpose flour
1 liter milk
nutmeg
Homemade Lasagna sheet
200 gr all purpose flour
200 gr semolina flour
4 eggs
28 gr extra virgin olive oil
Lasagna have several separate preparation so let’s begin with the longest one, ragu bolognese
chop finely 1 celery ribs, 1 onion, 1 carrot
in a large size pot put the vegetables and 120 gr extra virgin olive oil
when the vegetables are browned add 500 gr minced beef and 250 gr minced pork
when the meat is well browned and the liquid is a bit evaporated add 1 glass of red wine and let it fade
add 130 gr tomato paste and mix well after that add 500 ml water
cover with a lid and cook at medium/low heat for 2 hours and half stirring occasionally
meanwhile we can prepare homemade lasagne or bought it at the grocery
in this video we will make an additional smaller baking dish with homemade lasagna sheet
Put all-purpose flour and semolina flour on a pastry board in equal amount ( for example 150 gr all purpose and 150 gr semolina flour ), making a hole in the center where we will put 1 whole eggs every 100 gr flours and 7 gr extra virgin olive oil every 100 gr flours
With a fork we amalgamate the eggs and let the flour be incorporated, we salt the dough and continue this operation until it will be possible to work it by hand.
We work the dough until it is smooth and even. Leave it to rest in a film in the fridge for 30 minutes at least.
Now let’s prepare béchamel sauce
in a medium size pot put 100 gr butter and let it melt, add 100 gr all purpose flour and mix well
Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Slowly add 1 liter milk, one ladle at a time whisking constantly, until mixture is smooth.
Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 10 to 12 minutes or until sauce comes to thickens
Add a pinch of nutmeg and salt and let the bechamel sauce cool
For homemade lasagna work the dough with a rolling pin and divide in several part
now with the help of a pasta machine begin to lower the thickness of the dough
the dough will be ready when it is one millimetre thick or a little more
make large rectangles, i usually do 15 x 10 cm
If we use homemade lasagne we don’t need to cook them first
take a baking dish and let’s compose our lasagne
a ladle of ragu, a ladle of bechamel and a handful of parmigiano, let’s cover with the pasta and repeat this operation until the baking dish is full ) i suggest between 6 to 8 layers at max )
If instead you want to use bought pasta you should cook the lasagna sheets before you put in the baking dish, even if there is written in the instruction that you can put directly in the baking dish, is better to cook them for 3/4 minutes. In this way you don’t have to do a too liquid bechamel
let’s compose our lasagne again. For a baking dish 22 x 31 cm you will need about 450 gr lasagna sheet, 900 gr bolognese sauce and 700 gr bechamel sauce
For a baking dish 22 x 16 cm instead about 300 gr lasagna sheet, 500 gr bolognese and 400 gr bechamel
Cook the lasagna in oven for 30 minutes at 190° and let it cool a bit before serving
