Ingredients

  • 2 lbs 900g of ground beef.
  • 2 onions.
  • 1 small red bell pepper.
  • 3 tablespoons of tomato paste.
  • 2 garlic cloves.
  • Oregano thyme, and bay leaves.
  • 1 lb of mozzarella cheese.
  • 1 box of pre-cooked lasagna pasta.
  • ½ cup of parmesan cheese.
  • 1 cup of milk.
  • 1 tablespoon of wheat flour.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • 1 tablespoon of butter.

Instructions

  • Blend one onion, bell pepper, garlic, and tomato paste.
  • Season the ground beef and in a hot skillet with oil, brown the meat.
  • Once browned, add the blended mix, and also add some bay leaves, a pinch of thyme, and oregano.
  • When it starts to boil, reduce to medium heat and cook for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Set aside.
  • Separately, make the bechamel sauce. Boil the milk with ½ cup of water (or chicken broth), the other onion, butter, salt, and pepper. When boiling, dissolve the wheat flour in a bit of cold milk or water and add to the mix, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Keep stirring until it thickens.
  • To assemble the lasagna, in an ovenproof dish, spread a bit of the bolognese sauce at the base; place a layer of lasagna pasta, then more bolognese, some bechamel, and cheese slices. Add another pasta layer and repeat until you have three layers.
  • Finish with a lasagna pasta layer and cover generously with bechamel. Sprinkle parmesan on top and bake at 355°F (180°C) for 30 minutes.

Serve hot and enjoy!
