Perhaps one of Italy’s most popular and well-known dishes is the lasagne. However, it is rare to experience an authentic Italian lasagne with so many variants of the dish available now in restaurants and the freezer section of the supermarket.

That’s where Gennaro Contaldo comes in, introducing you to this simple and classic lasagne recipe which originates from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy.

Lasagne is the perfect comfort food dish and is just at home on the Sunday lunch table as it is as the centrepiece of a dinner party with friends. What makes it so versatile is the fact that it can be made well in advance and baked when required – perfect for stress free hosting!

An authentic lasagne is made with the famous ragu Bolognese and egg pasta sheets typical of the Emilia-Romagna region, although dried pasta sheets can be used instead thanks to their ready availability.

Layers are built up using the pasta sheets, ragu and béchamel (white) sauce, all topped with a final layer of the sauce and a sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese.

Method

Ingredients
4 x servings

For the Bolognese ragu – see recipe here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSIrBt6G5yQ

For the white sauce:
40g butter
40g plain flour
500ml milk
Salt & black pepper
100g grated parmesan cheese
About 8 x dried egg lasagne sheets

Method
First make the Bolognese ragu – see recipe here (HYPERLINK)
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees centigrade.

Make the white sauce – melt the butter in a small pan on a medium heat, remove from the heat, stir in the flour with a small hand whisk (this will avoid lumps from forming) until you get a paste, stir in a little milk. Return to the heat, add the remaining milk and stirring all the time, cook on a medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Remove from the heat, season with salt & pepper and stir in about a third of the grated parmesan.

Line an ovenproof dish with a little of the Bolognese sauce, arrange sheets of lasagne over followed by more sauce, then a layer of white sauce, sprinkle some grated parmesan and continue making layers like this until you have used up all the ingredients ending with a topping of white sauce and grated parmesan cheese.

Bake in the hot oven for about 30 – 35 minutes until golden-brown. Remove, leave to rest for a couple of minutes and serve.

Limoncello, so easy to make – result ensured for this typical Italian liqueur recipe.

You just need good lemons and pure alcool. Forget about the commercial Limoncello you find in the stores, you will make it 10 times better! Trust me!

Ingredients for 1.25 lt (0.33 gl) of Limoncello

0.5 lt (0,13 gl) of pure Alcool
0.75 lt (0,20 gl) of water
250 gr (8.81 oz) of sugar
5 lemons bio

—-

RECIPE:

Peal 5 lemons. Put the peals in a big jar and pour in it half liter of pure alcool (95°).

Let the peals rest in the alcool for 10 days (shake every 2/3 days).

Past 10 days, warm 0.75 lt of water and melt 250 gr of sugar in it. Let this sirup cool down.

Once the sirup is cold, pour in it the alcool (that now turned yellow) with the lemon peals.

Give a good mix and the limoncello is ready to go into a bottle. Use a strainer for this last step to avoid any peals into the Limoncello.
