Preparation
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients needed for cooking.
Step 2
Heat a little oil in a frying pan and add the finely chopped onion. Sauté for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Add the ground meat to the onion and cook, breaking up any large chunks into smaller pieces. Cook until the meat is fully cooked through.
Step 4
Pour the canned tomatoes into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and stir well. Bring to a boil, then set the meat sauce aside.
Step 5
Melt the butter in a clean frying pan.
Step 6
Add the flour and mix well. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly and making sure the flour does not start to brown.
Step 7
Gradually pour the milk into the flour mixture, whisking continuously. Mix well after each addition and wait until the milk is fully incorporated before adding more. Continue adding milk until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. You may not need to use all the milk.
Step 8
Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg. Stir well.
Step 9
Pour a little meat sauce into your chosen lasagna baking dish and arrange a layer of lasagna sheets on top. If necessary, break the sheets into smaller pieces to completely cover the bottom of the dish.
Step 10
Spread a layer of béchamel sauce over the lasagna sheets and sprinkle with a handful of grated cheese. Then add a layer of meat sauce, followed by another layer of lasagna sheets, béchamel sauce, and grated cheese. Repeat until all the ingredients are used.
Step 11
Finish with a top layer of béchamel sauce and grated cheese. Place the lasagna in an oven preheated to 190°C (375°F) and bake for approximately 30 minutes. The pasta should be tender when pierced with a knife.
