Layering the 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. I am showing you how to make Lasagna today and right now I am going to show you how to put together a Lasagna after we have cooked all the sauces and the pasta. We're going to get a Pyrex. Start with putting some Bolognese sauce at the bottom and then we are going to start layer our pasta. We are going to add some Bchamel sauce and some Bolognese. I am going to spread it all on top of the pasta and we're going to sprinkle with some grated Parmesan cheese, then I will make one more layer of pasta. Again we're going to add some Bchamel and some Bolognese sauce, sprinkle some more cheese, again one more layer of pasta. We can just break our pasta by hand in order to fit our Pyrex. One more spoon of Bchamel and Bolognese to cover entire pasta sheet. I am going to sprinkle some more Parmesan and we are going to do one last layer of pasta. Okay, one last sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and that's how you put together a Lasagna and right now I am going to put it in the oven at about 400 degrees for about 25 minutes, that's how you prepare your Lasagna.
