Lasagne al forno by Magnus Nordlander

Lasagne al forno

This lasagna is the best lasagna I have ever eaten. Of course, most of the lasagna I eat is also made by yours truly. The secret is the chanterelles, and now that I've told you, it's not really a secret anymore, is it? Dang.

Ingredients for 6 servings

  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 5 sun dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely sliced
  • 1 1/8 pounds of ground beef
  • 14 1/8 ounces of crushed canned tomatoes
  • 7/8 cup of dried chanterelles
  • red wine vinegar
  • 1 ounces of butter
  • 1 ounces of flour
  • 2 1/8 cups of milk
  • 20 lasagna noodles, give or take
  • 7 ounces of cheddar cheese, grated
  • salt
  • black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 390°F.

Start of by sweating the onions and the garlic in a little oil, in a dutch oven. When the onions are softened and slightly translucent, add the ground beef and the sun dried tomatoes.

While the ground beef is browning, make a béchamel sauce in another pot. Melt the butter and add the flour to make a roux. Let the roux cook for a couple of minutes over low heat, and then add the milk. Allow the sauce to come to a simmer, whisking very often. Season with salt and pepper.

When the ground beef is browned, add the crushed canned tomatoes, the chanterelles and the vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

In a casserole, layer lasagna plates, meat sauce, béchamel sauce and cheese. For the final layer, skip the meat sauce.

Bake in your oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and delicious.
