Instructions
Making The Red (Meat) Sauce
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until softened.
- Add the soy and Worcestershire sauces and the beef. Cook, stirring continuously, until the beef is browned (you may want to add a little extra olive oil to prevent the meat from sticking to the bottom of the pan as it cooks).
- Add the tomato paste, basil, oregano, tomatoes, bay leaf, stock, and sugar. Simmer over low heat for about 30-45 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn off the heat and leave the red sauce covered with a lid while you make the bechamel sauce.
Making The Bechamel Sauce
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the flour. Cook, stirring continuously until the mixture starts to bubble. Don’t let the mixture brown!
- Gradually add the milk. Turn the heat up to medium. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens.
- Add the nutmeg and Parmesan cheese (or vegan cheese alternative, if using).
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn off the heat. Set aside.
Assembling The Lasagna
- Assembling the lasagna involves alternating layers of the bechamel sauce, lasagna noodles, and the red (meat) sauce.
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit (175° Celsius).
- Lightly spread a 9x13 baking dish with some of the bechamel sauce.
- Add a first layer of the lasagna noodles.
- Cover with about 1/3 of the meat sauce.
- Layer more lasagna noodles on top.
- Add a thicker layer of the bechamel sauce.
- Sprinkle on some of the mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese.
- Layer more lasagna noodles on top.
- Add another layer of the meat sauce and cover with another layer of lasagna noodles.
- Spread on another layer of the bechamel sauce and the cheeses.
- Cover with lasagna noodles.
- Spread on the last of the meat sauce. Top with the last of the noodles and add the remaining bechamel sauce and cheeses as the final layer.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking the lasagna until the cheese is completely melted after about another 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
