Method

Step 1

BOLOGNESE RAGÙ: Blend the onions, celery, and carrots until very finely minced. Heat the oil in a large pan and sauté the vegetables over medium-high heat for about 20 minutes. Add the ground meat and cook until it starts to brown and lightly stick to the bottom of the pan. Pour in the white wine, deglazing the pan to dissolve the browned bits and add depth of flavor. Cover the meat with water or broth, add the tomato paste, season with salt and pepper, and cook for at least 1 hour, adding more broth if needed, until the meat is tender and the sauce is thick but not dry—perfect for layering.

Step 2

BÉCHAMEL SAUCE: Melt the butter in a saucepan. In a separate small pot, warm the milk. Add the flour to the melted butter and cook for about 2 minutes to make a roux, whisking carefully to avoid lumps. Gradually add the hot milk, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Cook the béchamel until it just comes to a boil, then keep it over low heat for a couple more minutes before removing from the heat. Adding the milk little by little prevents lumps and ensures an even texture. If you like, add a pinch of nutmeg to enhance the flavor.

Step 3

ASSEMBLING THE LASAGNA: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread 1/2 cup of béchamel on the bottom of the baking dish and add 1/4 cup of ragù. Make about 5 layers, each made up of: lasagna sheets, béchamel, ragù, and grated cheese. Oven-ready sheets will soften during baking as they absorb moisture from the sauces, with no need to pre-boil them. Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, until the lasagna is piping hot and lightly golden on top. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving so the layers can set.

Oven-Ready Lasagne

The wide flat sheets of lasagne pasta originally made by the Romans were called lasagne. Lasagne later came to refer to a dish cooked in a pot using long flat pasta sheets, layered with minced meat, cheese, and tomatoes. Barilla^® Oven Ready Lasagne does not require boiling the pasta before baking -- simply add it directly to your pan and bake. Barilla^® Oven Ready Lasagne is made with non-GMO ingredients.
