How to Make Lasagna

Ingredients

Pasta:
2 lbs of All-purpose Flour
10 Eggs
A pinch of Salt
Extra virgin olive oil

 

Bechamel Sauce:
1 quart of Milk
4 ounces of Butter
4 ounces of Flour

 

Bolognese Sauce:
2-2 1/2 pounds of Ground beef
Tomatoes
1/2 a Carrot
1/2 an Onion
Celery
Cloves of Garlic
Extra virgin olive oil
Glass of Red Wine
Rosemary
Sage

Instructions

1. Pour flour on work space. Make a whole in the middle and put eggs, salt, and olive oil in it. Work the dough until it is smooth.


2. Cut a piece of dough and use a pasta rolling machine or rolling pin to flatten the dough into thin sheets.


3. Place the pasta sheets into a tray with parchment paper underneath and some Semolina flour to prevent the dough from sticking to the pan.


4. To make the Bolognese sauce, put half an onion, celery, half a carrot and a couple of cloves of garlic into a food processor to chop them finely.


5. Pour some extra virgin olive oil into a pot, warm it up a little bit. Pour all of the vegetables inside the pot, start stirring and fry the vegetables for a couple of minutes.


6. Add the ground beef to the pot, cook until it is browned. Pour a glass of red wine into the pot and let it evaporate. Pour in peeled tomatoes.


7. Let the sauce simmer for an hour to an hour and a hlaf then add salt and pepper.


8.  To make the bechamel sauce, start boiling the milk in one pot and the butter in another. Add salt, pepper and a bit of nutmeg to the milk.


9. When the butter has melted, pour the flour in and let it cook for a couple of minutes.


10. When the milk starts boiling, add it to the flour and butter. Use a whisk to mix them together.


11. Boil water with a little salt and oil and place the pasta sheets in it. Cook the pasta for several mintues and then remove them and cool them down with ice water. Strain the pasta into a colander.


12. Start to layer the lasagna by putting bolognese sauce on the bottom, followed by a layer of pasta then bechamel and bolognese mixed together with some parmesan cheese. Repeat this several more times and finish with a bolognese and bechamel topping.

Davide Megna: Hello, I am Davide Megna from Amici Miei Ristorante in Rockville, Maryland and today I am going to show you how to make Lasagna. I am going to show you today from making the pasta dough, from rolling it into sheets, preparing the Bolognese sauce the Bchamel sauce and cooking the pasta and then putting the Lasagna together, baking it and serving it. These are some of the tools you need to make your Lasagna, a pasta rolling machine or a rolling pin, couple of pots and pans, a skimmer, a spoon and a whisk. The ingredients we are going to use today are flour, eggs, extra virgin olive oil, milk, butter, ground beefs, tomatoes, carrots, onions and celery and rosemary and sage.

There are some safety tips, be careful if you have children around your kitchen while you are cooking, you can cook with them, but make sure all the sharp utensils are out of their reach and try to use the back burners of your stove to avoid any spilling on your children. Before we begin to make our lasagna today let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Davide Megna, I am the chef and co-owner of Amici Miei Ristorante in Rockville, Maryland. I was trained, born and raised in Italy, I went to culinary school also in Italy in Turin and I moved to United States in 1994 where I worked for nine years in Ceviche Maryland and then I opened my restaurant about four years ago and then let's get started making our lasagna.

Sarita from Croatia Mr David, thank you very much for showing how to prepare lasagna. Some details I didn't know, now I complete my receipt.
