Lasagna Bolognese

Cookinero 8 May 2025

To prepare lasagna dough according to the classic recipe, the same ingredients are used as for making pasta. The main ingredient of this element of the dish is durum wheat flour. Today, there is no need to prepare lasagna sheets yourself, as they are already prepared and dried and sold in supermarkets. At home, it is recommended to cook the dish in the oven.

How to cook Lasagna Bolognese

Step 1

Lasagna Bolognese

Prepare the Bolognese sauce. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the carrots and onions. Fry the root vegetables until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Then add the minced meat and stir. Simmer the sauce base for about 10 minutes. Add the celery 2-3 minutes before it is ready. Add the tomato sauce and Italian herbs. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for another 15 minutes.

Step 2

Lasagna Bolognese

Cook the béchamel sauce. Melt the butter in a thick-bottomed container. Add the flour and stir until there are no lumps. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Then add salt and nutmeg. As soon as the sauce begins to thicken, turn off the stove.

Step 3

Lasagna Bolognese

Make homemade lasagne. Take a baking dish, grease the bottom with a small amount of béchamel sauce. Then lay out a layer of lasagne sheets. Spread some of the bolognese sauce. Then sprinkle with a mixture of cheeses and pour over the béchamel sauce. Repeat the steps until you run out of ingredients. Sprinkle the lasagne with cheese on top. Send the dish for 40 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees.

Yes, you can use ground turkey, chicken, or even plant-based minced meat for a lighter or vegetarian-friendly option. Adjust cooking times slightly if needed.

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze portions for up to 3 months.
Absolutely! Assemble the lasagna, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Replace the minced meat with lentils, mushrooms, or a mix of vegetables like zucchini and eggplant. Use vegetable broth if needed to enhance flavor.
For best results, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes. Cover with foil to prevent drying out. Microwave works for quick reheating but may soften the texture.
