Advices
Advice
Buy fresh, medium-sized white champignons with no spots, damage, or rot smell. They shouldn’t feel slimy. Wash thoroughly under running water. Small mushrooms (under 2 cm) don’t need peeling—just rinse well. Larger ones should be peeled.
Preparation
Step 1
Choose ground meat to your taste—beef, pork, or a mix. You can use pre-ground or make your own using a food processor or meat grinder. Lasagna sheets vary: some need soaking, others don’t—check the instructions.
Step 2
Rinse mushrooms and slice them thinly.
Step 3
Wash tomatoes and cut them into small cubes. You can remove the core and seeds if desired.
Step 4
Peel the onion and chop it finely.
Step 5
Grate the cheese. Use any cheese that melts well.
Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent.
Step 7
Add the ground meat. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring and breaking up any clumps. The meat should change color.
Step 8
Add mushrooms and cook for another 5–7 minutes until excess moisture evaporates.
Step 9
Add diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper, mix well, and simmer under a lid for 7–10 minutes. Use more tomato paste if you want juicier filling.
Step 10
Now make the Béchamel sauce. Use milk of any fat content or 10% cream. Add nutmeg or other spices if desired.
Step 11
In a skillet over low heat, melt butter.
Step 12
Add flour and stir quickly.
Step 13
Pour in hot milk and stir until smooth. Bring to a boil while constantly stirring. Salt to taste and remove from heat.
Step 14
In a baking dish, layer lasagna sheets. Spread with béchamel sauce. Add some of the meat filling and pour more sauce on top. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Step 15
Top with the remaining Béchamel and grated cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 40 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Baking time may vary by brand and your oven. Garnish with basil and serve hot. Enjoy!
