This one is the traditional Italian recipe from my brother-in-law, Fabri, brought down from generation to generation in his family. It is so amazing that I believe sharing it will make this World a better place, full of happiness and full bellies. All kudos to Fabri! :)

1-2 glassesred wine
1gentle cube of butter (for the oven plate)

Béchamel (enough to slightly cover every layer): this is optional and you can get your favorite recipe from cookpad ;)
Dry lasagna pasta (deCecco, Opera or other brand recommended by an italian or found in italian food store - preferably that does not need previous cooking)

Cooking Instructions

1

For the ragú:
2

Grind onion, carrot and garlic, small but not to a paste
3

Put oil in big frying pan (enough to cover the whole surface), medium fire
4

Pour the ground vegetables and cook until carrot is tender (~5min)
5

Add meat, let it cook a bit and then add the red wine (just enough to cover the meat, 1 glass should be enough but depends on your frying pan size)
6

When red wine has been absorbed, add the stock cubes (or salt and pepper) and mix well
7

Add the passata di pomodoro, the concentrate tomato paste and the laurel leave. Cover the pan and let it cook in low fire until done (at least 1h)
8

The Lasagna magic:
9

Heat oven at 170C (~340F) or whatever the pasta instructions say
10

Rub butter all around the surface of your deep oven plate
11

Put a layer of dry lasagne pasta, one of bolognese, a bit of béchamel, a bit of the mozzarela di buffala and enough grated parmigiano to slightly cover the layer. Repeat until the oven plate is full (usually 3-4 layers). The top layer has pasta, then just béchamel and parmigiano on the top
12

Put in oven (mid level) and let cook for the time and heat the pasta instructions say (usually 170C/340F, 30 min, both up & down)
13

If you want the top to be extra crispy, for the last 5 minutes move the lasagna to the upper level and change the heating to gratin
14

If you can resist, leave it rest a bit after heating... Lasagna is better the more time the pasta has to absorb the bolognese ;)

Simple Meatless Lasagna Simple Meatless Lasagna

I originally learned this recipe from a friend in college and have modified it over time to taste the best to us. This is soooo easy to make! The only truly lengthy part of this recipe is waiting for it to bake, and that's agonyyyyy. What's done in a flash is throwing it all together and popping it in the oven.Using "oven ready" lasagna, jarred sauce, and going meatless cuts down on a significant amount of time. Not to mention it's nice to go meatless once in a while.

I learned from an Italian mamma that it takes 2 days to make lasagna, but I hadn't had the chance to try it until now.Lasagna noodles made from eggs are good. Also, even if the package claims that you don't need to parboil the noodles, do it anyway.Ground beef: If you buy meat that is not ground, you can chop it up into small pieces.I recommend the delicious "Nagano Tomato" for the tomato purée.

When my husband and I were young (22) he requested lasagna so I made my family's version. I asked if he liked it, he said it was OK. What? Then he took me to his favorite Italian spot and I discovered how he likes it. Everyone loves this recipe, I hope you do also.

Lasagna Lasagna

I learned this lasagna from my mom-in-law. She taught me how to make it. When I was in Accra City, I tried to make on my own. It was successful and She is very proud of me. Lasagna is the meal that we used to prepare often at home in Germany. It is one of the family favorite meals.Notes. Lasagna could be prepared either only with vegetables or only with meat. It is on your preference.

Easy Lasagna For A Special Day Easy Lasagna For A Special Day

For Christmas dinner.Since you will use no-boil lasagna noodles, the meat sauce should contain more liquid than traditional lasagna. (That is why 1 cup of water is added to the sauce and the lasagna needs to be sit for about 20 minutes before baking, so the noodles will soak up the liquid.)If you add 1 cup of water, some ketchup should be added as well. If you are not adding water, just a small amount or no ketchup should be added. Recipe by Yuki!
