"instructions": [
|
|
"Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft, then add garlic for 1 minute. Add ground beef and brown completely. Stir in tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes until thick and deeply flavored.",
|
|
"Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually pour in milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Stir until thick and smooth, then season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.",
|
|
"Preheat oven to 190°C / 375°F. Lightly grease your baking dish. If using dried lasagna sheets that require pre-boiling, cook them now until just under al dente.",
|
|
"Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of the dish. Add a layer of lasagna sheets, then béchamel, then meat sauce, then a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat until you run out, finishing with béchamel on top. Crown with mozzarella and Parmesan.",
|
|
"Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes until golden and bubbling on top.",
|
|
"Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing — non-negotiable, she needs it.",
|
|
"To freeze: cool completely, wrap tightly in cling film and foil. Keeps up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat covered at 180°C for 30-40 mins."
