Ultimate Lasagna Recipe | Bolognese And Béchamel Sauce

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated Pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories, while Pecorino is often less costly.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat, while ricotta can be more affordable.

red wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: beef broth

Non-alcoholic wine offers flavor without alcohol, and broth is a budget-friendly substitute.

Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté chopped garlic, onion, celery, and carrot until softened.

Add chili flakes, tomato paste, and ground beef, cooking until the beef is browned.

Season with salt, pepper, and add the stock cube and soy sauce.

Stir in canned tomato puree, Italian seasoning, sugar, and water, simmering until thickened.

In a separate saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux.

Gradually add cold milk, whisking until smooth and thickened; season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

In a baking dish, layer the lasagna sheets, Bolognese sauce, béchamel sauce, and cheeses, repeating until all ingredients are used.

Finish with a layer of cheese on top.

Bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
