Lasagna with tomato and basil

INGREDIENTS

For the lasagna:

  • 12 lasagna sheets (can be pre-cooked)
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cans of crushed tomatoes (approximately 800g)
    Tomato and basil (to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 100g grated cheese (you can use mozzarella or a cheese that melts well)

For the béchamel:

  • 50 g butter
  • 50 g flour
  • 500 ml milk
  • Salt and nutmeg to taste

PREPARATION

  • Sauté the onion until golden.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes and cook for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the flour and mix well for a couple of minutes until it cooks slightly.
  • Add the milk little by little, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps.
  • Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add salt and a pinch of nutmeg.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • In an ovenproof dish, place a layer of precooked lasagna on the bottom.
  • Spread a layer of the vegetable mixture (tomato, onion, carrot, zucchini, eggplant) over the pasta layer, then add some sautéed spinach.
  • Cover with a layer of béchamel and repeat the process (pasta, vegetables, spinach, béchamel) until the ingredients are used up.
    Finish with a layer of béchamel and sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
  • Bake the lasagna for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
  • Let the lasagna rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Add an extra touch of tomato and basil EVOO if desired.

And that’s it! You have a vegetable lasagna with a flavorful touch of tomato and basil EVOO. I hope you like it!
