Why are we so concerned about how "real lasagna" is supposed to look or taste. I like this one. I dont care if it is made with a certain sauce. If it's good eat it!! Dont cook it if you dont like it. |

Got a hankerin' to try and make lasagna for the first time, and ran across your recipie.
Bought all the fresh fixin's , and voila, the perfect dinner.
Turned out spectacular for a first attempt.
I do need to purchase a deeper dish, as the one I used only allowed two layers, but man what a great two layers it was.
Cannot wait to reheat it tomorrow.
My loving wife is duly impressed. |

Hi All,
I can't locate Fulvio recipe on the forum site, is this a failed IQ test?
However, I have immensely enjoyed reading this site and gathering valuable information; love the recipe diagrams...
Cheerio,

|
|
As always cooked in my family:
1) the main step is to prepare a good ‘ragů alla bolognese’ and you can do it following the following simple steps.
- chop ˝ carrot, a small piece of celery, a piece of onion and put them in warm olive oil. Let them fry slightly for a couple of minute, adding if you want a clove of garlic and a fresh chilli.
- Add 10,5 oz minced beef meat and 2 minced fresh pork sausages. Mix and let the meat gently cooking with the chopped vegetables for at least 10 minutes. After that, you must high the flame and you must steam the meat with a cup of white wine. Let everything cook for 2 minutes and then add 3 cans of peeled tomatoes previously chopped.
- The ragu must simmer for at least 90 minutes and then it is ready for our lasagne
Original lasagne recipe contains only fresh egg pasta, ragů, béchamel sauce and grated Parmigiano.
2) Preparing egg pasta: you have to mix 10,5 oz wheat flour with 3 eggs. Then you have to roll out the dough and make some rectangle ( 7,5 x 6 in). Start cooking them in boiling water (with a tbl spoon olive oil) until they came up to the surface. Take them out and put in cool water. Spread the rectangles on a cloth for drying.
3) Preparing béchamel sauce: melt 7 oz butter on a low flame then add 7oz wheat flour and mix on the flame and gently cook for 2 minutes. Add a little nutmeg and gradually add 0,3 gal hot milk. Keep mixing until the sauce will be reduced.
4) Mix the béchamel with ragů and start to prepare the layers in this way: one layer pasta, one layer ragů + béchamel, one light layer of grated Parmigiano. Keep making layer until the lasagne will be 3 in high.
5) Put the lasagna in the oven (temp. : 380F) until you’ll se it swelling

recipe for Meat Lasagna
I tried this recipe. I now wish the writer had put the list of ingediants at the front of the recipe rather then at the end. The need for 1/2 cup chopped basil leaves was not stated in the write up until the write up said to add it. So I had to stop and prepare it. While the color photos shown on the web site are nice, I printed (in black and white) the pages out to have in my kitchen to follow while I prepared the recipe and found the photos were not much help. Also I prefer to drain off the fat from browning the meat before adding the tomato ingredients. Consequently, from this experience, I will now try recipes found at other web sites before I try another recipe from this site.

Bechamel sauce does not take that long, nor is it hard to prepare. i am a chef and lasagne takes me 15mins to prepare, and 25 mins to cook.
Boil milk , add roux, add cheese, blend or whisk, wahlah, easy bechamel, 5 mins work.... |

has anyone ever used the need to boil first kind of noodle,uncooked,in a lasagna before and what was it like? today I made a pan of lasagna and everything was going well, I assembled the dish with what I thought were the pan ready noodles, and after all was put together I noticed the box said to boil first. What will happen? I have added extra water and will be cooking the dish next week, it is now in the freezer. |

As someone who has just returned from Italy (mainly Venice, Florence, and Rome) I'd like to put my two cents in here.
Yes, the recipe here is a bolognese-type sauce: Meat-tomato sauce.
I found this version occasionally in Rome.
More common were versions of the bechamel-based sauce which I found in Florence and Venice. This is probably due to the fact the bechamel sauce is French in origin and the French cuisine has mixed with the Italian cuisine somewhat- especially the farther North you go.
What I found is that the bolognese-type lasagne that we Americans are familiar with had a much denser feel. My assessment was that this was due to the strong flavors of the tomato-based bolognese sauce as well as possibly the denser feel of the ready-made lasagne noodles.
The lasagne that I had in Italy was very light in feel and flavor. They often do meals in first and second courses- the first being the pasta course. The pastas have to have a lighter feel or the Italians couldn't make it to the second course. The lighter, and better tasting lasagna (just my opinion) was the lasagne with the tomato/bechamel sauce mixture. There was very little meat. I think the tomato sauce portion of this sauce may be cooked with some proscuitto to give it flavor and possibly a little very fine ground beef. I believe this version that tasted soooo good was also made with freshly made noodles as they seemed lighter in texture. Where the typical American lasagne might have 4 layers, these seemed to have 6-8 thinner layers. I think also that the laurel or bay leaf and the grouns nutmeg may also contribute to the difference in flavor.
I think you should make whichever version you like. You've got to eat it and it should suit to taste.
I must say I was very turned off by the rude people who felt this forum was a place to degrade vegitarians. I'm not vegetarian but I don't think there is anything wrong with it. It's just a life-style choice not much different that not eating other foods such as seafood or sushi. If you live in America, then stop being an idiot and embrace the tolerance for other people's personal beliefs since personal freedoms were the basis for forming this country ! OK. I've said my peace. |
