Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make lasagna Bolognese with bechamel sauce? First you need to prepare both sauces. Letʼs start with the Bolognese sauce. To prepare it, gently peel the carrots and onions, chop them and fry them in oil in a frying pan until soft.

Step 2

Step 2
Add the minced meat and fry it for 8 — 10 minutes until it turns from red to brown. During the cooking process, you should periodically stir the dish, breaking up the lumps of minced meat with a spatula to a finer and crumbly structure. I added more celery, but thatʼs up to your taste.

Step 3

Add tomato sauce, a mixture of dry herbs — Italian or basil, salt and pepper to taste, stir and simmer covered for 10-15 minutes.

Add flour and stir quickly.
