She, like its inhabitants themselves, is colorful, colorful and attractive. It is amazing that the same dish in different parts of this warm country is cooked differently. For example, Italians living on the Sicilian coast cook lasagna mainly with seafood, and their northern fellow citizens prefer to add meat to this dish. Whatever climbing recipe is used, it will be equally tasty and aromatic. This dish has been going on for more than 7 centuries, and England and Scandinavia have claimed the title of its homeland, but since it is cooked in Italy, you can’t try it anywhere else!
So, the classic lasagna recipe, which is used in many restaurants, consists of layers of dough, which gave the name to the whole dish, Parmesan cheese and Bechamel sauce. All other variations on the theme of this dish are the result of the imagination of cooks from different provinces. Its classic version is the basis for the subsequent preparation of various varieties of lasagna. So how to make lasagna yourself?
First of all, it is necessary to purchase layers of dough, which will be the basis of the whole dish. Italians usually cook them themselves from flour and water, which makes lasagna more juicy than from the same industrial product. Actually, the climbing recipe that every Italian knows is 70% composed of these layers, so their choice must be treated with great care. They must be made from hard flour. The second most important ingredient in this dish is Bechamel sauce, which is present in all varieties of lasagna. To create it, you need half a liter of milk, a pinch of salt, 4 tablespoons of butter, nutmeg and 4 tablespoons of flour. First you need to melt the butter, and then add the flour there and mix everything thoroughly until all the lumps are completely dissolved. After cooling a little of the resulting mass, you need to pour milk here, and then cook it over low heat for another 10 minutes. At the end of the preparation of the Bechamel sauce, salt it and add nutmeg. Such a sauce is poured every layer of lasagna. You should not regret it, because any lasagna recipe, no matter what is taken, will be juicier and more aromatic with this sauce.
Among all the recipes, everyone will be able to find something special and new for themselves. This is an amazing dish that absolutely everyone can enjoy, because there are several options for its fillings. Even radical vegetarians can eat lasagna, adding tomatoes, spinach, onions, greens inside it. Perhaps the most popular recipe is meat lasagna, which also has several varieties. The main thing in this variation is to properly prepare the meat sauce. To do this, take the veal, chop it into small pieces. Some recipes allow the use of ground beef. The main thing is that the meat should be fresh and of high quality, since in this form of climbing it is it that carries with it all the taste colors and smells. First you need to lightly fry it in a pan, then add the tomatoes, finely chopped onions, peppercorns, garlic, Italian seasonings and stew until cooked. To prepare meat lasagna, you need to take a rectangular shape in which first lay one layer of boiled until half-cooked seams, then add the meat sauce, and Bechamel sauce on it, then again lay out the dough and repeat this layer by layer. In the end, top out the dough again and sprinkle with plenty of Parmesan cheese. Put the resulting dish in the oven until cooked, for about 20 minutes. Fragrant Climbing Ready!
