Time 4h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 pound dry lasagna pasta sheets
6 cups Bolognese sauce, recipe follows
3 cups Bechamel sauce, recipe follows
1 pound freshly grated mozzarella
Freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, for sprinkling
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 large celery stalk, finely chopped
2 dried chili peppers, crushed
Sprig fresh rosemary
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1 cup white wine
3 cups tomato sauce or La Salsa di 5 Minuti, recipe follows
3 basil leaves, torn
Salt
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Dried chili peppers, crushed
1 (28-ounce) can peeled plum tomatoes, pureed
Salt
3 fresh basil leaves, torn
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons flour
4 1/2 cups milk

Steps:

  • To assemble:
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cover the bottom of a deep baking dish with a layer of Bolognese sauce. Lay out the uncooked pasta sheets over the sauce until they cover the baking dish entirely. Cover the pasta with another generous layer of Bolognese sauce. The liquid from the sauce will cook the dried pasta so be sure to add enough sauce. Drizzle the bechamel sauce and sprinkle the mozzarella on top, until both are distributed evenly. Add another layer of dried pasta, laying the sheets in the opposite direction. Repeat the process of adding sauces, mozzarella, and pasta for another 2 to 3 layers or until two-thirds of the baking dish's depth is filled. Top off the last layer of sauces and mozzarella with a generous sprinkle of the Parmigiano cheese.
  • Place the pan in oven for approximately 40 minutes and let rest for 20 minutes before serving.
  • In a hot saucepan, melt the unsalted butter with the olive oil, and add the carrots, onion, celery, and chili pepper. Cook the ingredients over medium heat, until they are soft. Add a sprig of rosemary. Add the ground beef and pork, and cook until golden brown. Remove the rosemary sprig, and add the white wine. Let reduce. Add the tomato sauce or La Salsa di 5 Minuti, and let simmer on low heat for 1 hour. Before serving, add basil leaves and salt to season. Serve immediately.
  • Salsa di 5 Minuti:
  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan and add onion, garlic, and chili peppers. Gently fry ingredients together. Add pureed plum tomatoes to saucepan. Simmer on low to medium heat for 10 minutes.
  • Season with salt to taste. Add basil leaves at the very end.
  • Bechamel:
  • In a saucepan, heat up the milk, and bring to a gentle simmer. In another saucepan, melt the butter and immediately add the flour.
  • Lower the heat, and mix until the butter has absorbed all the flour and is the consistency of thick dough. Make sure the butter-flour mixture does not burn or brown.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat, and whisk in a couple of ladles of heated milk into the butter-flour mixture. Whisk until the flour has absorbed all of the milk. Put the saucepan back on the burner over medium heat, and whisk in the remainder of the milk.
  • Continue whisking until the sauce thickens and becomes a creamy velvety consistency.

MOM'S LASAGNA

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Time 2h50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup olive oil
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
Pinch kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound pork neck bones
1 pound ground veal
1 pound ground beef
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, loose or removed from casings
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (28-ounce) can San Marzano tomatoes, with their juice
2 bay leaves
1 pound dried lasagna noodles
2 pounds whole milk ricotta cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano leaves
2 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for final topping
1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, grated

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and a three-finger pinch of salt and sweat them until they're translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the neck bones and let them brown, about 5 minutes. Add the ground veal, beef and sausage, and season with another healthy pinch of salt. Cook until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the white wine, tomatoes and their juice, and the bay leaves. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon, making sure to get all of the browned bits into the sauce. Season the sauce with salt, to taste, and simmer for 2 hours over medium heat. Remove the bay leaves and neck bones and let cool. Skim any fat that rises to the surface.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Add enough salt so that it tastes seasoned and allow the water to return to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl mix together the ricotta, parsley, basil, oregano, eggs, and Parmesan with a pinch of salt.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Ladle about 1 cup of sauce on the bottom of a lasagna pan. Arrange a layer of noodles followed by a layer of sauce and then some of the ricotta mixture. Top with a layer of mozzarella, smoothing it with a spatula to the edges. Repeat the process until the pan is full. Finish with a final layer of noodles, sauce, the mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Uncover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest, 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
