Conti's Lasagna

Cultural Context

Lasagna is a classic Italian dish that originated in Ancient Greece, but it evolved in Italy, particularly in the regions of Emilia-Romagna and Campania. Traditionally made with layers of pasta, meat, cheese, and sauce, it has become a staple in Italian-American cuisine, often served at family gatherings and celebrations. Today, variations abound globally, with many adapting the recipe to suit local tastes and dietary preferences.

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, and ground pork can be more affordable.

1

Prepare the béchamel sauce first. Heat the milk in a pot, adding salt and nutmeg.

2

In a small pan, melt the butter, then add the flour and cook for one minute.

3

When the milk is almost boiling, add the butter and flour mixture (roux) and stir immediately, bringing the milk to a boil to finish the béchamel.

4

In the same small pan, quickly rinse it and add the speck cut into small strips or cubes with a splash of oil, sauté until golden, then add to the béchamel and mix well.

5

Cut the cheeses into cubes and combine them in a bowl with the grated cheese.

6

In a baking dish, layer two tablespoons of sauce, then a layer of pasta, followed by more sauce and mixed cheese, repeating until all ingredients are used, aiming for at least 5 layers.

7

Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes.
