Lasagne al Forno

Pasta

A classic oven-baked lasagne recipe made with ragù alla Bolognese and béchamel. This recipe is from the cookbook 'Simply Pasta, Pizza & Co' by cooking teacher and pasta master Julian Kutos.

For the lasagne (serves 8)

Ingredients
50 ml olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
16 lasagne sheets
2 l ragú alla bolognese
2 l béchamel sauce
100 g Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Preparation:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C.
  • Drizzle the base of a large oven dish, about 24 x 34cm, with olive oil.
  • Cover the base of the oven dish with 4 of the lasagne sheets.
  • Spoon over one quarter of the béchamel first, followed by one quarter of the ragù.
  • Top with 4 more lasagne sheets and layer the béchamel and ragù sauces on top.
  • Repeat this process 2 more times. Cover the last layer of lasagne sheets only with bechamel and sprinkle the grated Parmesan on top.
  • Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and browned, the lasagne is bubbling lightly and the pasta sheets are cooked through (test using a sharp knife).

Tip:

Lasagne tastes better if it is left for a day. Ideally, I layer the lasagne in the oven dish, without the Parmesan on the top, and leave it unbaked, covered in the fridge, overnight. 

The next day I sprinkle Parmesan on top and bake it. Lasagne that is cold from the fridge will take about 10 minutes longer to bake.
