Preparation: 30 min Rest: 10 min Cooking: 2h
PREPARATION
Bolognese is indeed the filling. It must be well seasoned, if the filling is poorly made or poorly seasoned, then it is clear that your recipe is a failure. Here is how you must make a good filling. Before starting the preparation, preheat the oven to 180 degrees
The filling
1
Start by cutting your carrots into cubes (the smallest possible cubes), also cut the celery, then the carrots.
2
Then place a saucepan on your hob and add the olive oil and brown the chopped vegetables. This will bring out the flavour of the vegetables a little more and will also remove the excess water contained in the carrots.
3
Then add the ground beef, mix and cook for 3 minutes, just enough time to grill it a little and color it. The beef that I advise you to choose is a meat with at least 10% fat because the fat also contains flavor that we are looking for for our recipe and this will also allow to have a juicy and soft filling.
4
Now pour in the red wine to deglaze the preparation. This will also give an incredible taste to the filling. Then add ¼ glass of water, the stock cube, the grated tomato, the garlic and the bouquet garni of tincture and bay leaf, mix well.
5
When the preparation is simmering, cover and bake for about 1 hour. Now move on to preparing the béchamel.
Bechamel sauce
1
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, taking care not to burn it.
2
Then add the flour in one go and mix well with a whisk,
3
Then add the milk. This is a rather delicate step because this is where your preparation could form lumps. To avoid this, add the milk little by little and mix as you go.
4
Add a teaspoon of pepper and a pinch of salt. You can also add a little chili powder to enhance the taste. So let it simmer for 1 minute while stirring. This is almost the end of the recipe! It's time to prepare the 2 preparations and then cook the lasagna.
Lasagna
1
In a plate, add olive oil with a brush so that the plate is well incorporated with oil. You can simply place baking paper in the plate
2
Then put a thick layer of filling, then add the lasagna then the béchamel and so on and finish with a good layer of béchamel.
3
Now grate the cheese over the preparation. Don't hesitate to put a good amount. Bake in the oven preheated to 180 degrees and immediately lower to 150 degrees for about 50 min. The lasagna bolognese recipe is finally finished, let it rest for about ten minutes before tasting. Enjoy.
