Scroll down for English recipe

Sunt multe retete de lasagne: cu carne, cu legume, cu branzeturi. Aceasta este reteta originala,cu sos bolognese si sos bechamel.
Am facut-o pentru cina cu Electrolux, unde am fost 12 persoane. Prin urmare, in fotografii (pentru care le multumesc Roxanei si lui Beatrice) cantitatile sunt mai mari decat in reteta pe care v-o propun.

Ingrediente pentru 6 persoane (tava de aprox 25 cm x 45 cm):

• 400 g foi de lasagne
• 300 g mozzarella, rupta in bucati mici
• 150 g parmezan, ras

Sos bolognese

• 600 g carne de vita, tocata
• 200 g pancetta
• 1 morcov mic
• 1 ceapa medie
• 1/2 de telina medie (sau o tulpina de telina italieneasca)
• 50 g unt
• 4 linguri ulei de masline extra vergine
• 200 ml vin rosu
• 400 ml suc de rosii (passata)
• busuioc, oregano proaspat
• sare, piper dupa gust

Sos bechamel

• 50 g unt
• 50 g faina
• 500 ml lapte
• 1 lingurita nucsoara, praf

Mod de preparare:

• Daca folosesti foi de lasagne de buna calitate, ele se pot pune nefierte. Altfel, pune foile de lasagne in apa fiarta sarata si fierbe-le pe jumatate. Scurge apa, lasa-le sa se racoreasca putin si separa-le. Nu astepta sa se racesca definitiv pentru ca nu le  mai poti separa.
• Sosul bolognese : toaca sau da pe razatoarea mare legumele

• Incalzeste untul si uleiul intr-o tigaie mare

• Pune legumele in tigaie si calesete-le la foc mediu, pana se inmoaie

• Toaca (sau taie marunt) pancetta si pune-o in tigaie. Amesteca bine.

• Lasa pana ce pancetta se aureste putin. Adauga carnea si prajeste-o usor, cam 10minute

• Pune vinul si lasa carnea sa fiarba la foc mic, pana cand acesta e absorbit (cam 15 minute)

• Adauga passata si amesteca bine 

• Pune un capac si lasa sosul sa fiarba 45 - 60 de minute. Daca  scade foarte mult, poti adauga putina apa sau supa clara.

• Toaca cate 1/2 legatura de busuioc si oregano. amesteca-le in sos. Potriveste sosul de sare si piper.

• Sosul Bechamel: Intr-o tigaie topeste untul.  Adauga faina si amesteca pana cand tot untul e incorporat. Pune cate putin lapte rece si amesteca pana ce este incorporat. Continua pana cand tot laptele este folosit. Pune nucsoara si amesteca bine

• Intr-o tava mai inalta toarna cateva linguri de ulei si 2 linguri de sos bechamel. Pune un rand de paste

• Toarna 1/3 din sosul bolognese,  pune 1/2 din mozzarella si 1/3 din sosul bechamel. Pune inca un strat de lasagne si cate 1/3 din sos bolognese, sos bechamel si restul de mozzarella. Ultimul start de lasagne si restul de sosuri, cu sosul bolognese deasupra. Presara parmezan pe toata suprafata

• Coace  la 180 C pentru 30 de minute

• Serveste lasagnele calde si apoi priveste cu satisfactie cum  ceilalti o mananca  :)

English version: 

There are many lasagne recipes: with meat, with vegetables, with different types of cheese. But the one that I adore is the original, with Ragu alla Bolognese sauce and Bechamel sauce. 

The photos were taken from a 12 persons dinner, so don't worry if what you have in your pot doesn't match with the quantities you see in photo :)

Ingredients for 6 persons:

    400g lasagne sheets
    300g mozzarella, cut in small pieces
    150 g Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
Ragu alla bolognese sauce :

•     600 g beef, minced
•     200 g pancetta
•     1 small carrot
•     1 medium onion
•     1 / 2 medium celery (or one celery stalk)
•     50 g butter
•     4 tablespoons Extra Vergine olive oil
•     200 ml red wine
•     400 ml tomato juice (passata)
•     fresh basil, fresh oregano
•     salt and pepper to taste

Bechamel sauce

•     50 g butter
•     50 g flour
•     500 ml milk
•     1 teaspoon nutmeg powder

How to prepare:

    If using lasagna sheets of good quality, they can put uncooked. Otherwise, put the lasagne sheets in boiling salted water and cook them halfway. Drain water, let them cool a little and separate them. Do not wait to finally cool because you can not separate them anymore.
     

Bolognese sauce: 

•    Mince or finely grate the vegetables
•     Heat butter and oil in a large skillet. Put vegetables in it and soften them over medium heat (for about 10 minutes)
•     Mince (or finely cut) pancetta and put it in the pan. Mix well. Leave until the pancetta becomes golden. Add meat and fry it slightly, for about 10min
•     Put the wine and allow meat to simmer over low heat until it is absorbed (about 15 minutes)
•     Add passata and mix well. Put a lid and let the sauce simmer 45-60 minutes. If the sauce becomes very thick, you can add a little water or broth.
•     Chop basil and oregano leaves. Mix them in sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    Bechamel sauce:  Melt the butter in a pan. Add flour and mix until all butter is incorporated. Put a little cold milk and stir until it is incorporated. Continue until all milk is used. Put nutmeg and mix well

   
 In a pan pour a few tablespoons of oil and 2 tablespoons of bechamel sauce. Line pasta sheets on the bottom of the pan.

    Pour 1/3 of sauce bolognese , put 1 / 2 of mozzarella and 1/3 bechamel sauce. Put another layer of lasagne and 1 / 3 of bolognese sauce, bechamel sauce and remaining mozzarella. Last layer of lasagne and remaining sauces. Sprinkle parmigiano all over
    Bake at 180 C for 30 minutes
    Serve them hot and then look with satisfaction as the other ones eat them :)
