How to Make Homemade Lasagna Bolognese Recipe

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.

Chop the vegetables for the ragù.

Brown the vegetables in a pan for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add salt, peppercorn, cloves, and nutmeg to the ragù.

Prepare the pasta for lasagna by mixing 1 egg with 4 ounces of flour until the dough is elastic and smooth.

Let the pasta dough rest for 20 minutes.

Roll out the pasta into very thin layers.

Cut the rolled pasta into sheets for layering.

Prepare béchamel sauce without butter, using milk and Parmesan cheese, ensuring no lumps remain.

Grease the baking pan with butter.

Spread a layer of tomato sauce and béchamel mix in the baking pan.

Add a layer of pasta sheets on top.

Add a generous layer of ragù on top of the pasta.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Repeat layering with pasta, ragù, and béchamel until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of béchamel and cheese on top.

Dot the top with butter flakes.

Put the lasagna in the oven to cook.
