Ingredients
  

  • 100 - 200g parmesan cheese cut in pieces (3 cm)

Bolognese sauce:

  • 200g mixed vegetables celery stalk, carrots and onions, cut in pieces
  • 40g extra virgin olive oil
  • 800g mixed minced meat half pork and half beef
  • 100g dry white wine
  • 300g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 1 to 1.5 tsp salt to taste
  • 0.5 to 1 tsp ground black pepper to taste

Béchamel sauce:

  • 1000g milk
  • 80g butter cut in pieces
  • 100g flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 to 2 pinches ground nutmeg

For the lasagne assembly:

  • butter for greasing and topping
  • 250g dried lasagne pasta approx. 12 sheets (10cm x 20cm)

Instructions
 

  • Place the parmesan cheese in the mixing bowl and grate 15 seconds/speed 10.  Transfer it to a bowl and set aside.  Rinse the mixing bowl.
  • Now make the bolognese sauce - place the mixed vegetables and extra virgin olive oil in the mixing bowl. Chop 5 seconds/speed 7, then sauté 5 minutes/120C/speed 2.
  • Add the mixed minced meat, stir using spatula to break it up if necessary and sauté 8 minutes/120C/reverse/speed 1.
  • Add the dry white wine and cook 5 minutes/Varoma/reverse/speed 1.
  • Then add the chopped tomatoes, salt and black pepper and cook 20 minutes/100C/reverse/slow speed (spoon symbol). Transfer to a bowl and set aside.   Clean and dry the mixing bowl.
  • To make the béchamel sauce - place the milk, butter, flour, salt and nutmeg into the mixing bowl and cook 12 minutes/100C/speed 3.
  • To assemble and bake the lasagne - preheat the oven to 180C. Lightly grease a baking dish (approx. 30cm x 24cm x 6cm) and set aside.
  • Cover the base of the baking dish with a thin layer of bolognese sauce. Place a layer of dried lasagne pasta sheets over the sauce, cover with another layer of bolognese sauce, sprinkle with some of the parmesan cheese and cover with a layer of béchamel sauce. Repeat this step until all ingredients are used. Finish with a layer of béchamel sauce, sprinkle with remaining the parmesan cheese and dot with small pieces of butter.
  • Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.  Allow the lasagne to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • A great dish for entertaining - it can be prepared ahead up to step 8, but don't sprinkle with the remaining parmesan and dot with small pieces of butter until just before putting it in the oven.
  • I tend to use fresh pasta sheets when I make lasagne and a 250g pack works well for this recipe.
  • Any leftovers will keep well in the freezer.
