Cereal and Pasta Dishes

Lasagna

Lasagna is baked layers of wide pasta sheets, meat sauce, béchamel and cheese. This version also adds a layer of ricotta mixed with egg and Parmesan, the way Italian-American kitchens often do it, so it comes out denser and richer than a plain ragù-and-béchamel lasagne. Bake it 35–40 minutes and let it rest before cutting, so the layers set into clean squares.
