Lasagne Alla Bolognese
- for the lasagne
- 1 box no-boil lasagne sheets (Barilla 9 oz. box - 16 sheets)
- 6 cups Bolognese sauce or Ragu , like Merrill's Weeknight Ragu: http://www.food52.com/recipes...weeknightragu
- 4 cups bechamel sauce
- 2 - 3 cups grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- for bechamel sauce
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 heaping tablespoons flour
- 4 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- pinch of fresh grated nutmeg
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- For bechamel sauce, over medium-low heat, melt butter in a saucepan.
- Add the flour and stir with a spoon until bubbly. Don't burn it! Lower heat if needed. You just want to cook some of the raw taste out of the flour.
- Stir in milk until thickened, about 5 minutes or so. Using a small fine-mesh strainer, scoop up any lumps and press through with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and nutmeg. Set aside.
- For lasagne, in a 9" x 13" baking pan, spread 1 1/2 cups of bolognese sauce on bottom of pan. Layer 4 overlapping sheets, 1 generous cup bolognese sauce, 1 cup bechamel and 3/4 cup Parmigiano. Repeat 3 more times with remaining layers. Top with extra grated Parmigiano if desired.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 50 minutes. Uncover and continue baking 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Buon appetito!
