Bechamel Sauce

  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Flour
  • 500 ml Milk

Instructions

Preparations

  • Cut the celery, onion and carrots in small cubes. And cut the garlic in slices.
  • Use a food processor with a blade to cut the mushrooms very small. If you don't have a foodprocessor, you can just slice the mushrooms very fine by hand.

The Bolognese Sauce

  • Heat the olive oil in a baking pan, and add the onion, garlic, celery and carrot cubes.
  • When the onion turns glassy, add the mushrooms, thyme and bay leaves.
  • Bake for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are brown. Then add the flour and keep stirring to make sure the flour doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
  • After 5 minutes, add the red wine and let the mixture cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Then add the stock and passata, and let the sauce cook for 1 hour on a low heat.

Bechamel Sauce

  • In the meantime you can make the bechamelsauce! Melt the butter in the cooking pan and add the flour. Mix and bake this until it smells like freshly bakes cookies.
  • Then add salt, pepper and the milk. Use a whisk to mix everything and to remove any lumps.
  • Preheat the oven on 390 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.

The Lasagne

  • Add some bolognese sauce to the oven dish. Top with a layer of pasta sheets. Repeat these steps until you are out of sauce or pasta sheets ;)
  • Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and tear the mozzarella in smaller pieces.
  • Top with the bechamelsauce, torn mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and some chili flakes. Bake the lasagna for about 45/50 minutes in the preheated oven. Top with basil just before serving!
