The Perfect Lasagne

I’ve fallen in love with the quirky cook­ing show, Extra Vir­gin, star­ring Debi Mazar and her Ital­ian native hus­band. I recently tried one of their mouth water­ing recipes, bolog­nese lasagne with a besci­amella sauce. It is divine! I’m going to be upfront with you, it’s a sim­ple yet time con­sum­ing recipe. How­ever, one bite and you’ll know it was worth all the effort.  The main thing you’ll notice that sets this recipe apart from most, is the lack of cheese. Instead you use a besci­amella sauce that is made from but­ter, flour and milk. It turns what would be an ordi­nary dish into an extra­or­di­nary one!

I fol­lowed the recipe as directed, except I omit­ted the nut­meg sim­ply because I don’t like it. If you need a meal to impress, look no fur­ther… Serve it with a sim­ple salad and rus­tic Ital­ian bread. Of course, don’t for­get the vino!
