Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

lasagna noodles
1lb mozzarella
6oz parmesan-regiano
1lb Italian sausage
kosher salt and ground pepper to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belchamel<\/strong>
1 stick unsalted butter
60g all purpose flour
4 1\/2 cups whole milk
1\/2 tsp ground nutmeg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sauce<\/strong>
1\/3 white onion
1 tbsp olive oil
6 cloves garlic
4 tbsp tomato paste
1\/2 tsp oregano
2 28oz cans san marzano tomatoes
1-2 sprigs fresh basil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Procedure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Preheat oven for 375F and start a pot of salted water to boil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belchamel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melt your butter in a saucepan and simmer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gradually stir in flour until a nutty roux forms and then gradually and slowly add milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn down and simmer for a few minutes and allow the sauce to thicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once saucy, add salt pepper and nutmeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If lumpy, pass through a sieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cover with no air for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saute onion until translucent, then add tomato paste and saute for another 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add garlic and san marzano tomatoes, lower heat, and simmer for 30 min to an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end add sprigs of basil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lasagna<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grate your cheese and cook your sausage in a pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix sausage and sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layer the lasagna starting with sauce at the bottom, then 1 noodle, 2 sauce, 3 cheese, 4 belchamel then repeat. Make sure to cover your noodles completely in sauce if using oven-ready lasagna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garnish with parmesan-regiano going extra light on sauce and extra heavy on cheese on the top layer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake at 375 for 30 min to 1 hour, or until melty. Cook for another 15 minutes to finish and brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove and let cool for another 10 minutes. Add a bit of torn fresh basil on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
