How to Make Lasagna Pasta?

Like you categorize the ingredients into three parts, you’ll have to make the recipe in two parts as well. We’ll make the meat sauce first-

Meat Sauce

Within only 3 simple steps, your meat sauce will be ready. Let’s check out how-

Step-1

Put olive oil, garlic, onion, and chili flakes in your deep-bottom saucepan. Mix them and let them be softened at medium heat for 1 minute. 

Step-2

Once the onion, garlic, and chili flakes become soft, add ground meat and stir. Ground meat comes with a strong chunk. Therefore, ensure the chunks are mixed properly. Stir and sauté the meat with onion and garlic for 10 minutes. Let it be light brown.

Step-3

Add black pepper powder, salt, chopped tomatoes, fresh seasonings of thyme, rosemary, basil, and parsley to the sautéed meat and mix properly. Keep mixing all the elements together and ensure a good mixture. 

This time, add water and continue stirring for 30 seconds to mix all the ingredients with one another properly. Now lid on the saucepan and cook for 30 minutes. 

Step-4

Lid off the saucepan and stir the meat sauce once. It’s ready. Transfer the meat sauce to a bowl and keep it aside for later use. At this stage, you need to go for white sauce. 

White Sauce

Step-1

Put a pan on the stove and put butter on it. Let the butter melt if you didn’t take the melted butter. Keep the heat medium-low. Once the butter is melted, add flour to the pan and mix it well. 

Keep sautéing the flour with butter for 5 minutes at medium-low heat. The flour and butter will be thickened enough after 5 minutes of sautéing time. 

Step-2

Add milk to the flour and keep stirring. Continue stirring to mix the milk and flour. Make a smooth mixture. Now add nutmeg and salt. Keep mixing for 1 minute and let the liquid thicken a bit. 

However, you shouldn’t let it thicken excessively as it will be thickened automatically while cold. 

NB: You should pour the milk into the pan quickly to prevent lumps or chunks.

Step-3

Transfer the white sauce to another bowl. This time, all you need is to layer up your San Giorgio lasagna dish.
