  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • 1/4 of cup of parmesan cheese.
  • 1/4 of cup of Gouda cheese.


How to prepare:

1. You will need to prepare the tomato sauce or if you want you can substitute for tomato sauce that you can buy on store.
If you want to prepare as me the sauce then you will need:


  • Boil the tomatoes and peel.
  • Once peeled, add to the mixer.
  • Add half of water, 1/4 of onion and 1 garlic clove.
  • Salt and pepper to taste, add 1/4 of teaspoonful of cumin,1/4 teaspoonful of Vegeta(Stock vegetable powder), 1 teaspoonful of sugar, mix all ingredients.
  • Add the sauce using strainer and put to heat, add 1 cup of tomato sauce that you buy on supermarket already prepared.
  • Leave to boil, add 1 teaspoonful of oregano and white wine. I use 1/4 of cup and and the other 1/4 I add to the meat.
  • The sauce is ready.


2. To prepare the meat, you will need:


  • In a hot pan with oil, add the garlic clove finely chopped and just after you start the delicious smell of the garlic you add the onion finely chopped, leave until change to transparent. move with spatula.
  • Add the meat and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Fry until golden brown.
  • Add 3 teaspoonful of basil and 1/4 of white wine.
  • Add tomato sauce and leave in low heat, and wait until the sauce is consumed a bit, continue moving with the spatula.
  • Put aside.



3. For the bechamel sauce with cheese:


  • The firs thing you need to do is heat the pot and add 90Gr. of butter.
  • When butter is melted, add the 90 gr. of wheat flour, mix with whisk until combine, don't stop whisking, low heat.
  • Little by little add the milk, dont stop whisking, add salt and pepper and the cheese you chose, in my case, I use 1/4 of parmesan cheese and 1/4 of gouda cheese, continue whisking in low heat.
  • Whisk until creamy, it takes for me 15 min.
  • Ready your bechamel sauce, put aside.


3. Is finally time to prepare our delicious lasagana:


  • In my case, I use pre-cooked lasagna, I couldnt find lasagna to cook, even though, I put to cook from 5 to 7 min. this is to make it soft when cooked, if you find not pre-cooked lasagna is better, will be softer, you will need to boil more, just follow the instructions of the box.
  • To cook you will need a big pot and add olive oil to not stick and 1 garlic clove.
  • Put separate if you can in an absorbent towel.
  • When you have all lasagna boiled, is the time to prepare lasagna.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 200C.
  • Grease the mold, use butter.
  • Add in the mold the lasagna noodles, it will depend of the size of your mold, in my case it fit 5 lasagna noodles.
  • Add the cheesy bechamel sauce covering all the lasagna noodles.
  • Add the ground meat already prepare with our delicious tomato sauce, optional you can pepperoni or salami above the meat, but if you want traditional way to prepare is just the meat.
  • Add the ground cheese that you choose, in my case I use mozzarella and gouda, you can add also cottage and put between the meat and the ground cheese.
  • Add the other lasagna noodles and agan add the bechamel sauce, the meat and the cheese.
  • The process will continue until you finish all your ingredients, in my case was 4 wraps.
  • At the last wraps of lasagna I just add the bechamel sauce and the cheese.
  • The oven should be pre-heated to 200, at the moment you will put the lasagna to the oven, reduce to 180C.
  • Leave the lasagna from 30-45 min, this will depend of your oven, in mi case, it takes 40 min. also you should check when start bubble the cheese it means is ready, leave until golden the cheese a bit.


Enjoy your delicious Bolognese Lasagna!!!.. not easy, but tasty...
