How to make Italian Lasagna:
- Prepare all the ingredients to prepare the meat lasagna. In some Caribbean countries, the famous Italian lasagna is called pastiche.
- Having everything ready to work, we will begin by preparing the meat for the filling. To do this, in a pot, sauté the finely chopped onion with olive oil and the grated carrot.
- When the onion looks golden, add the meat and cook for 7 minutes. Stir everything and season to taste, since this meat will be the main filling of our homemade lasagna.
- When the meat is cooked, we add the tomatoescut into squares, without seeds or skin, together with the white wine. Let the alcohol evaporate and reserve the mixture.
- Besides, to make the béchamel sauce, we melt the butter in a pan and add the flour little by little. Cook the white sauce until lumps form.
- Next, add the milk and mixuntil the sauce thickens. Then, we add salt and a little nutmeg to give a touch of flavor to the béchamel.
- With the filling and sauce ready, it’s time to assemble the Italian meat lasagna. To do it, in an oven tray we have a layer of pasta that we previously cooked in boiling water, we add a layer of filling and on top a layer of white sauce.
- Remember that you can also use pre-cooked pasta to make your lasagna.
- We do this step as many times as we see fit and we finish with a layer of pasta, a layer of cream and cheese to gratin, bake the lasagna at 180ºCfor 20 minutes
- Wait a few minutes for the pasta to be well compacted and then serve and taste the Italian lasagnawith a bit of country bread.
