INGREDIENTS REQUIRED

1. One and a half Lb. of Lasagna Pasta
2. 2 teaspoons of tomato paste
3. 6 cups of peeled tomatoes
4. Lb. of minced veal
5. Lb. of minced beef
6. Lb. of Italian pork sausage detached from the covering
7. One large shallot
8. One large sized onion
9. 5 pieces of garlic
10. One and a half Lb. of Mozzarella cheese
11. Grated Parmigiano cheese
12. 1 Lb. of Ricotta cheese
13. stick of butter
14. Two chicken or beef broth cubes
15. 2 teaspoons of fresh parsley
16. 1 teaspoon of hot pepper
17. Extra virgin olive oil
18. 3 fresh basil leaves

PREPARING THE SAUCE

• First take a large pan and cover the base with extra virgin olive oil & put it on average flame.

• Cut the onion, garlic and shallot into small pieces and add them to the pan.

• Once the onion pieces become golden brown, add the beef, veal, and the pork sausage (broken in small morsels) so that the meats can be fried more evenly.

• Wait for a while for the meats to brown. Then, add the tomato paste and peeled tomatoes.

• Next, take an immersion blender to chop the meat and tomatoes very finely.

• Next you have to add the basil and parsley.

• Add hot pepper and butter.

• Let these ingredients cook for about 30 minutes at average heat to reduce the sauce.

MAKING THE LASAGNA

• Prepare the Lasagna in a way so that it is still firm when bitten, i.e. half cooked (Al Dente). This is important because the pasta will continue to cook in the oven later.

• Add a little olive oil to the water to ensure that the Lasagna sheets do not cling to each other.

• Once cooked, remember to replace hot water with cold water to discontinue cooking. This will help you touch the Lasagna sheets without getting burned.

• Next take a deep baking pan and cover the base with a substantial coating of sauce.

• Then, put a coating of Lasagna followed by a coating of sauce, again a Lasagna layer, Ricotta cheese, Mozzarella, and Parmigiano cheese. Keep layering till you reach the top or brim of the pan.

• Make sure the final layering is of the sauces, Mozzarella cheese and Parmigiano cheese.

• Finally, you need to bake it in an oven at a temperature of 400o Fahrenheit for approximately 40 minutes.

Now, allow your delicious Lasagna pasta to rest for about 15 minutes or so. Serve after 15 minutes and delight your guests with a yummy creamy taste!

If you have less time and wish to avoid cooking, you can book a table in one of the renowned Italian restaurants and relish a delectable platter of yummy traditional pasta.
