Method

Step 1

Here are the five easy steps to cook a delicious Pesto lasagna:

Step 2

To make the pesto sauce, start by blending the pine nuts and garlic in a blender. Add the washed and dried basil leaves and EVO without turning off the blender. Then add half of the grated Parmigiano cheese (25 g), and the Pecorino cheese, and adjust the density by adding more oil if necessary.

Step 3

Peel and cut the potatoes into cubes, clean the green beans, and cut them into pieces as well. Boil the potatoes and green beans in boiling water until al dente and then drain.

Step 4

For the Bechamel sauce, melt the butter in a pan on medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly to avoid lumps. Pour in the milk, which has been previously heated. Bring to a boil for a few minutes and adjust the salt.

Step 5

To assemble the lasagna, start by placing a bit of bechamel, pesto, green beans, and potatoes on the bottom of a baking dish and cover it with the pasta sheets. Repeat three more times until you have four layers. Cover the last layer only with the bechamel, the remaining Parmigiano cheese, and some green beans and potatoes on top.

Step 6

Bake the lasagna in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 170° C. Let it stand for five minutes before serving.
