If you haven’t tried lasagna so far, you’ve lost a lot. This dish tastes amazing and cannot be compared with anything. In order to try a real Italian dish, experts advise visiting Italy itself and ordering somewhere in the lap of nature to order a fragrant dish with a name that originally meant something like “pots”. It is clear that a national dish is best prepared only in its homeland. Although this is a moot point, because the researchers claim that the British were the first to prepare the lasagna. But we will not be upset about the currently unrealizable illusions about visiting distant Europe and will try to discuss how to cook lasagna with minced meat, and the filling of the dish can be very diverse. Before proceeding to the details of the process, a little about what lasagna represents visually. This is a kind of layer cake, thin layers of dough which are interspersed with a filling of meat, fish, vegetables and other components. And sauces are a must for any lasagna. Tomato, bechamel and parmesan are considered traditional. And although the technologies that are progressing every day today make it possible to implement the most indefatigable fantasies, including in the art of cooking, they prefer to use lasagna all over the world in the grandfather's manual way.
So, let's start specifically on the topic of how to cook lasagna with minced meat. Of course, in the store you can buy ready-made layers of lasagna, but we will try to cook all the ingredients with our own hands. For the dough, we need 400 grams of wheat flour, a little salt and five pieces of chicken eggs. Knead the cool dough and let it distance a little. And ourselves at this time we will prepare the stuffing. And since lasagna with minced meat is considered to be the most delicious, we will start with it.
Grind half a kilogram of meat through a meat grinder. It should not be too fat, because the minced meat is overcooked in oil. After the mince is well cooked, add one head of onion to it, pepper and salt and leave it all on low heat until the liquid evaporates completely, because here we will gradually add one tablespoon of tomato paste and a full glass of water.
While the minced meat is being prepared, you and I, already experts in how to cook lasagna with minced meat, will proceed to the broths without much bothering with their names. Boil and fry a small amount of mushrooms in a pan; separately, until golden brown, fry the flour. Mix the mushroom broth half with milk, it should turn out about two glasses, add the mushrooms there and continue to simmer them for no more than five minutes.
The next stage of preparation for those who are seriously interested in how to cook lasagna with minced meat, the process of rolling thin square layers of dough, which is divided into 9 identical parts. These plates are boiled in boiling salted water with the addition of a small amount of vegetable oil for about fifteen minutes.
Now the most crucial moment when lasagna with minced meat is formed on its own. We put the first layer of dough into a mold, lay a thin layer of minced meat on it, and rub hard cheese on top, again without thinking that Parmesan cheese would be desirable. Pour each layer abundantly with sauce. When all 9 layers are packed in this way, it remains to pour the top layer with diluted tomato paste, and again rub a little cheese on top. Bake for about 50 minutes.
Pasta lasagna with minced meat is cooked in the same way. Only instead of dough there will be boiled pasta. Well, pasta and minced lasagna will not be so multilayered, but it will not lose its taste.
Enjoy your meal!
