Authentic Italian Lasagne
- 1 pound Lasagne noodles
- 10 ounces Lean ground beef
- 6 ounces Prosciutto crudo, chopped up but not too small
- 1.5 cups Pomodoro sauce (make you own)
- 1 Medium onion, chopped
- 1 Celery stalk, chopped
- .5 cup White wine
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 4 ounces Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 7 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 4 cups Bechamel (make your own or use good store bought)
- Salt to taste
- Over medium heat melt 4 tbsp butter in a sauce pan and saute the onion, celery and the chopped prosciutto for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and let them brown nicely, stirring constantly. Stir in the wine a little at a time until it is completely incorporated.
- At this point add the chicken stock, pomodoro sauce and salt to taste. Cover and cook on a very low flame for an hour and a half, stirring occasionally. Add more broth if necessary.
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F.
- Cook the pasta as directed for al dente. Drain and set on parchment paper on a baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil on the top of the pasta so the next layer won't stick.
- Brush a high-sided 9-by-13-inch (23-by-33-cm) baking pan with butter and place it on top of a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow. Cover the bottom of the pan with a layer of lasagne, Put a half of the meat sauce, 1/3 of bechamel sauce and 1/3 of the parmigiano-reggiano cheese. Repeat this for the next layer, and top with a layer of lasagne. Cover with the remaining bechamel, Parmigiano-Reggiano and remaining tablespoons of butter.
- Bake at 400u0b0F for 20 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
