步驟

Bolognese Sauce

Add

Heat a large pot under medium heat. Add olive oil, garlic and onions. Sauté until fragrant, for a minute or two, avoid browning. Then add ground beef.

Saute

Sauté ground beef until it is no longer pink. Add carrot and celery, and sauté for about one minute.

Add the liquids - peeled tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir to combine. Heat it on medium high heat and let it come to a boil.

Add the rest of the seasonings - basil, oregano, beef bouillon, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Lower heat to medium heat and let it cook for another ~10 minutes, or until sauce thickens.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Béchamel Sauce

Heat

Add butter to a medium pot and heat under medium heat.

Add

Once butter is melted (avoid browning butter), add flour to pot. Using a whisk, whisk to combine. Mixture will be slightly clumpy.

Whisk

Immediately add milk into the pot and bring to medium high heat so that it comes to a boil. Whisk continuously until mixture thickens and is smooth.

Add

Once mixture reaches desired thick consistency, add salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then remove from heat.

Assemble Lasagna

Pre heat oven to 375°F.

Add

Bring a thin layer of bolognese sauce to the bottom of a deep 9" x 13" dish.

Layer

Start layering with three sheets of rectangular lasagna sheets (see Note 1), then add 1/3 of the bolognese sauce, and then 1/3 of the béchamel sauce.

Repeat Step 2 two more times. There should be a total of three sets of lasagna sheets/bolognese sauce/béchamel sauce layers.

Sprinkle

The top layer should be béchamel sauce. Sprinkle it with mozzarella cheese to top it off.

Bake

Bring casserole dish to oven and place a cookie sheet under the casserole dish to catch any potential drippings. Bake for 45 minutes, then (optional) broil for 2 minutes to brown the top.

Cool

Remove dish from oven and let it sit for 20 minutes before cutting into lasagna.

Serve

Garnish with parsley and serve! Enjoy!
