Steps
- 1
Prepare the lasagna components based on the selected variation. This typically involves preparing a meat sauce (Bolognese) and a white sauce (Béchamel).
- 2
For the meat sauce: Sauté the onions, carrots, and garlic in olive oil. Add the ground meat and cook until browned. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, and herbs (basil, oregano, or Italian herbs). Simmer until thickened.
- 3
For the Béchamel sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, and gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and thickened. Season with salt and nutmeg.
- 4
Prepare the lasagna sheets. Depending on the type, they may need to be parboiled in salted water or used dry if specified by the manufacturer.
- 5
Assemble the lasagna in a baking dish by layering the sauces and pasta sheets. A common order is: a little sauce on the bottom, pasta sheets, meat sauce, Béchamel sauce, and a sprinkling of cheese (Parmesan, mozzarella, or ricotta).
- 6
Repeat the layers until the dish is full, finishing with a generous layer of Béchamel and cheese on top.
- 7
Bake in a preheated oven (typically 180-200°C / 350-400°F) until the pasta is tender and the top is golden and bubbling, usually about 30-45 minutes.
- 8
Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow the layers to set.
