About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- lasagna sheets
- bolognese ragout
- béchamel sauce
- Parmesan cheese
- tomato sauce
- heavy cream
- chives
- olive oil
Instructions
- 1Boil the lasagna sheets in salted water until al dente, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop cooking; lay the sheets flat on a clean surface to keep them from sticking.
- 2Preheat the oven to 374°F (375°F). Lightly grease a large baking dish with olive oil.
- 3Spread a thin layer of bolognese ragout on the bottom of the dish, place a layer of lasagna sheets, drizzle with béchamel sauce, and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese.
- 4Repeat the layering—bolognese, sheets, béchamel, Parmesan—until all components are used, ending with a final layer of lasagna sheets on top.
- 5Cover the assembled lasagna tightly with plastic wrap, then seal with aluminum foil.
- 6Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- 7Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
- 8In a separate pan, place one lasagna square, pour a mixture of tomato sauce, heavy cream, and additional Parmesan over it, and bake at 356°F (350°F) for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the cheese melts.
- 9Transfer the finished lasagna to a serving platter, drizzle with a little olive oil, garnish with chopped chives and extra grated Parmesan.
- 10Serve hot and enjoy the classic, comforting flavors of this New York City favorite.
