I am going to show you how to make the MOST AMAZING homemade lasagne. Including my quick and easy beef ragu that tastes fantastic and saves you time.
A delicious homemade lasagne with rich beef ragu, creamy béchamel sauce and golden cheese topping. A family comfort food classic.
One hour from start-to-finish (and half of that’s in the oven) and you can be serving up a big meaty-cheesy dish of lasagne, with enough for second helpings. Because we all want second helpings when it comes to lasagne right?
The full lasagne recipe is on our site: https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/how-to-make-lasagne/
Ingredients:
Meat Sauce/Ragu:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion peeled and finely diced
2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
1 carrot peeled and finely diced
3 chestnut (brown) mushrooms finely diced
1 pound (500g) minced beef (ground beef) 12-20% fat, don’t go for the really lean stuff, it’s too dry
3 tbsp tomato puree
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 beef stock cube crumbled
28 oz (2 x 400g) canned chopped tomatoes
½ tbsp light brown sugar
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Béchamel Sauce:
4 tbsp butter salted or unsalted is fine
4 tbsp plain/all-purpose flour
3 cups (720ml) full fat milk
1 pinch salt and pepper
1 packed cup (100g) cheddar cheese grated
pinch of nutmeg optional
50 g mozzarella grated or chopped finely
50 g strong cheddar grated
Also:
12 sheets of dried lasagne the kind you don’t need to pre-cook
1 3/4 cups (175g) mixed grated cheese. I use a combination of regular cheddar, red cheddar and mozzarella
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

If they don’t like mushrooms why are you putting them in?
thankyou I’m going to attempt your receipe with some spinach too
Are the sheets to be boiled prior to using them? In the video they obviously aren’t but they came out hard and inedible!!!!
This is amazing, I don't like cooking but decided to give it a go. My entire family couldn't get enough!!!
What degrees?
Instead of the white sauce, can I use ricotta cheese?
I cooking this today and at the end what temp to cook it on
Thank you sooo much! I cooked, my children asked for extra portions! ❤💥
Tried this recipe for my family and it was absolutely incredible! 😍 The beef ragu was so rich and flavorful, and that cheesy topping? Pure comfort food heaven. 🧀🔥 I love how fast it all came together too — perfect for busy weeknights.
Tip for anyone looking to switch it up: try adding a splash of red wine to the ragu for even deeper flavor. 🍷 Already planning to make it again next weekend — with double the cheese 😉 Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe!
We do this today
Thanks to you I made my first lasagne a few months ago. Everybody loved it so much I've been tasked with making a new one every week since.
Madam, I've said this before, but you are a master chief for sensible people. I'll be making your lasagna this coming week. Thank you, and peace out.
Thank you for your recipes. Definitely a 10!
Very well-presented information. Everything is concise and to the point. Thank you!
Tip; always best to pre-soak the pasta sheets first a few seconds on hot water before adding them
Yum 😋
Thank you so much. Have never made lasagna but had to prepare it for my clients at work today. I simply followed your recipe and it came out very well. So cheers 🍻 to you 😃👍🏿
this is a poorly made and messy meal you have made a waste of white sauce and pasta sheets and little to non mince
and last ain`t you meant to put ` more layer of pasta sheets with white sauce on the top with cheese on that after and then PUT in the oven
Thats brave of you saying dont use the low fat stuff , everyone thinks its the enemy these days.
Mmm i come back to u when ever i make lazanra,spaggie bolanze or sherpers pie spot on every time thank you x
We tried this recipe for the first time today, a nice, simple, healthy and tasty meal with, not too many ingredients.
We're sold and subscribed, thank you.
Amazing recipe!!! Thank you so much
Nice Recipe! I love lasagna! I want to be a chef like you in the future!
Great recipe. One thing I would add is I find it good to leave the lasagne to sit and rest for a little while after cooking, which allows it to firm up and makes it a lot easier to cut up and dish out. I think it also improves the flavour and texture of the dish too 🙂
Thank you, your recipes are lovely and easy. Also exceptionally tasty ❤
So she can't cook a lasagne. No celery. 👎
Thanks a lot, for sharing the recipe, it looks as easy and teasty.I will try it today.😊
Hey! Can we use lactose free milk instead for the béchamel?
Thank you for the recipe. I can only find pasta sheets which need 40 mins cooking time but you say to put the dish in the oven for 25 – 30 mins. Will the pasta be undercooked? What can I do to fix this?
Mushroom and carrot on lesagna? Is that normal ? Never heard of that before
Thanks,it was 👌🏾
Best lasagne ever! I'm cooking it right now ❤ xx
I followed your recipe and the result was fantastic — absolutely delicious! My wife and friend loved it. Thank you for keeping the video simple, clear, and straight to the point. 😊
It would be great if you could also mention the pan size or volume next time, so we can follow along even more accurately. ☺
My mum uses gruyère on the top , a nice alternative to mozzarella.
