This recipe uses a one third portion of an easy beef ragu made for use in Meal Plan 7. The picture shows my portion, which is a quarter of the finished dish, not a half, so this dish could feed 4, and not the 2 originally thought.
What do I need to make beef ragu lasagna
One third of the ragu mix – this is
400ml semi skimmed milk
100g + 50g flour
How do I make beef ragu lasagna
Put 50g of the flour in a saucepan and mix to a paste with a little of the milk. Add the rest of the milk and whisk well to incorporate. Now heat the milk mixture either in a saucepan or in the microwave until it thickens. Set aside.
Put the remaining 100g flour in a bowl and add enough cold water to make a pastry like dough. Knead a little.
Divide into 3. Roll out one third to the thickness of a credit card and approximately the shape of your dish.
In an ovenproof dish, the one I used is 9″/23cm x 7.5″/18cm, place one third of the ragu, top with one quarter of the white sauce.
Cover with the rolled out pasta.
Repeat… Ragu, white sauce, pasta
Repeat… Ragu, white sauce, pasta
Now top the final layer of pasta with the last quarter of the white sauce. Everything else is cooked, we just need to cook the pasta through.
Bake in a medium oven for 30-35 minutes until the top is browned.
If you have any Parmesan, grana padano or cheddar, sprinkle a tiny bit on top of each layer of white sauce.
I added a dollop of grainy mustard to ours, otherwise, it was the recipe here. I wanted to see what it would taste like.
Because of the restriction of ingredients on the meal plan, we are missing butter in the bechamel and cheese in the layers. I could taste that they weren’t there, but it was a tasty dinner anyway. Filling and satisfying. If you have them available, add a big knob of butter to the bechamel, and a sprinkle of cheese on top of the ragu in each layer as you assemble the lasagna.
As you can see from the pictures, this made a very large lasagna for two people and could easily feed four if you wanted to stretch it, especially if there was some kind of accompaniment. A green vegetable say, or garlic bread, oven wedges maybe or a jacket potato.
