Lasagne
For the meat sauce:
• 100 g streaky bacon
• 1 onion
• 1 carrot
• 100 g celery
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 400 g mince (a mixture of beef and
pork)
• 100 ml meat stock
• 1 small tin tomatoes, chopped
(about 400 g)
• oregano, thyme, salt and pepper
For the Béchamel sauce:
• 75 g butter
• 50 g flour
• 500 ml milk
• salt, pepper and nutmeg
To put together:
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 250 g green lasagne
• 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 50 g Emmental cheese, grated
Method:
Using a sharp knife cut the bacon from
the rind and gristle and cut into fine dice.
Peel the onion and carrot, clean the cel-
ery, dice all vegetables finely.
Heat the oil in a casserole, sauté the ba-
con and the diced vegetables while stir-
ring constantly.
Gradually add the mince, sauté while
stirring constantly to break up and de-
glaze with the meat stock. Season the
meat sauce with tomato purée, the
herbs, salt and pepper and simmer with
the lid on over a low heat for about 30
minutes.
In the meantime prepare the Béchamel
sauce: Melt the butter in a pan, add the
flour and cook until golden, stirring con-
stantly. Gradually pour in the milk, stir-
ring constantly.
Season the sauce with salt, pepper and
nutmeg and simmer without a lid for
about 10 minutes.
Grease a large rectangular ovenproof
dish with 1 tablespoon of butter. Layer
alternately a layer of pasta sheets, meat
sauce, Béchamel sauce and mixed
cheese in the dish. The last layer should
be a layer of Béchamel sauce sprinkled
with cheese. Place the rest of the butter
in small knobs on the top of the dish.
