When an ordinary dinner becomes an Italian celebration!

Friends, are you ready to turn a regular evening into a true Italian flavor feast? Our "Luxurious Lasagna al Forno" is not just a dish; it's a culinary journey to the heart of Italy, where every layer is a separate work of art! It combines a classic rich meat bolognese sauce, a delicate and creamy béchamel, and several types of cheese that create an incredible bouquet of aromas and textures. This is the perfect dish for special occasions or when you simply want to treat yourself and your loved ones to something truly exquisite.

The "highlight" of this lasagna is its multi-layered structure and contrasts: juicy ground meat that has been slowly simmered to release all its flavors, a creamy sauce that melts in your mouth, and melted cheese that forms a golden crust. With Zakaz.ua, you can easily gather all the ingredients for this masterpiece, and we'll help you create the perfect taste right in your kitchen.


Alternatives/Variations:

  1. Mixed Ground Meat: For a deeper flavor, use a mix of ground beef and pork in a 1:1 ratio.
  2. Vegetarian Option: Replace the meat with a mixture of sautéed mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, eggplant, and zucchini.
  3. With Spinach: Add fresh spinach to the bolognese or béchamel sauce to enrich the taste and color.

Secrets for Tenderness/Flavor:

  1. Bolognese Depth: For an authentic Italian taste, simmer the bolognese sauce over very low heat for at least 2 hours, or preferably 3-4. The longer it cooks, the richer it will be. Add a little dry red wine when browning the meat to add depth to the sauce.
  2. Perfect Béchamel: Cook the béchamel sauce over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until it becomes thick and smooth, without any lumps.

Preparation steps

01

Prepare the Bolognese Sauce (90 minutes): In a hot pan with olive oil, sauté the finely chopped carrot, onion, and celery until soft. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking up any lumps, until golden brown. Pour in the wine, let it evaporate, then add the tomatoes, broth, spices, salt, and sugar. Simmer the sauce over low heat for at least 1 hour.

02

Prepare the Béchamel Sauce (10 minutes): In a saucepan, melt the butter, add the flour, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Slowly pour in the cold milk, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens (3-5 minutes). Add nutmeg and salt.

03

Assemble the Lasagna (15 minutes): Coat the bottom of the baking dish with béchamel sauce. Add the first layer of lasagna sheets. Then alternate layers of bolognese and béchamel sauces, sprinkling with grated mozzarella and parmesan. The final layer should be béchamel, topped with cheese.

04

Bake (45-50 minutes): Cover the dish with foil and place it in an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes until a lovely golden crust forms.

05

Rest and Serve (15 minutes): After baking, be sure to take the lasagna out of the oven and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. This is crucial for the layers to stabilize, allowing you to easily slice it without the dish falling apart.
