Lasagna without Spinach

In Indonesian & English (the English version is below the recipe written in Indonesian)

Bahan

  • 9 lembar Lasagna pasta*, 400 gr Keju Mozzarella serut

  • 15 gr Peterseli cincang, Keju Parmesan-taburan, Minyak

  • 1 Keju Mozzarella bulat-iris & 500 gr Bayam (opsional)

Saus Bechamel:

  • 4 sm Mentega, 70 gr Terigu, Garam, Lada bubuk

  • 900 ml Susu, 100 gr Keju Parmesan serut

  • sejumput Pala bubuk

Bahan Daging:

  • 600 gr Daging sapi cincang, 1 Daun salam, 4 st Garam

  • 400 gr Sosis Italy cincang *, 1 st Lada hitam bubuk

  • 3 (10 gr) Bawang putih+75 gr Bawang bombay-cincang

  • 2 sm Tomat pasta, 400 gr Tomat cacah dalam kaleng

  • 400 gr Saus tomat tidak manis, 2 st Gula merah

  • 3 st Bumbu Italy (oregano+basil), 1 Wortel-parut

  • 3 sm Olive oil

Cara membuat

  • Daging: Tumis bombay & wortel dengan olive oil hingga layu. Masukkan bawang putih & daging2, masak hingga daging kecokelatan. Beri bahan lain, masak 20-30 menit di api sedang-kecil hingga saus sedikit mengental & daging empuk, aduk sesekali.

  • Saus Bechamel: Lelehkan mentega di api sedang. Masukkan terigu, aduk cepat hingga tercampur rata. Kecilkan api & secara bertahap tuangi susu. Aduk & masak hingga saus tak bergumpal & membentuk krim. Masukkan parmesan & bumbu2, aduk sampai keju leleh.

  • Panaskan oven 180°C. Olesi loyang berukuran ± 23X33 cm dengan sedikit minyak. Ulas selapis tipis saus dari daging di dasarnya. Susun 3 lembar lasagna memanjang di loyang hingga tertutup semua (bila lembaran terlalu besar, potong sedikit). Beri daging, keju mozzarella serut, bayam, peterseli & saus Bechamel di atasnya. Ulangi prosedur tetapi susun lembaran lasagna dengan arah sejajar sisi pendeknya. Tutup bagian paling atas dengan 3 lembar lasagna memanjang. Tuangi saus bechamel, susun mozzarella iris & taburi parmesan di atasnya. Penyusunan lembaran lasagna bersilang ini akan membuat lasagna lebih kokoh saat dipotong nantinya.

  • Panggang selama 25-30 menit. Angkat dari oven dan tunggu ± 10 menit sebelum dipotong.

  • * Gunakan lasagna lembaran yang tidak perlu direbus dulu atau Lasagna pasta segar. Sosis Italy cincang dapat diganti dengan daging babi/ayam cincang berlemak.

Ingredients

  • 9 sheets no-boil/Fresh Lasagna noodles, Parmesan-sprinkle

  • 400 gr shredded Mozzarella cheese, 15 gr chopped Parsley

  • 500 gr Spinach & 1 Mozzarella ball-sliced (optional)

Bechamel Sauce:

  • 4 tbsp Butter, 900 ml Milk, 70 gr Flour, ground Pepper

  • 100 gr shredded Parmesan, Salt, pinch of ground Nutmeg

Meat Ingredients:

  • 600 gr ground beef, 3 tbsp Olive oil, 2 tsp Brown sugar

  • 400 gr ground Italian Sausage *, 400 gr Tomato sauce

  • 3 (10 gr) Garlic cloves+75 gr Onion-chopped, 1 Bay leaf

  • 400 gr can diced Tomato, 1 tsp ground Black pepper

  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste, 1 Carrot-grated, 4 tsp Salt

  • 3 tsp Italian seasoning (Oregano+Basil)

Instructions

  • Meat: Sautè onion & carrot with the olive oil until it wilts. Put in all meat & garlic; cook until the meat brownish. Add in other ingredients & cooking it for 20-30 minutes over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens & the meat are tender; stirring it occasionally.

  • Bechamel sauce: Melt butter over medium heat. Add in flour; stir quickly to combine it well. Reduce the heat & gradually pour in the milk. Keep stirring & cooking it until the sauce smooth (no lumps) & creamy. Stir in parmesan & seasoning until the cheese melts.

  • Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 9X13 inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the base of baking dish. Arrange 3 lasagna noodles lengthwise to cover it completely (trim sheets to fit the dish if needed). Add in the meat, shredded mozzarella, spinach, chopped parsley & Bechamel sauce on top. Repeat the layering procedure, but arrange the noodle sheets in the opposite direction. Top with 3 noodle sheets, arrange it lengthwise. Spread Bechamel sauce, arrange some slice mozzarella & sprinkle the parmesan all over. This criss cross layering system will make the lasagna hold together better when it slice later on.

  • Bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven & let it stand for ~ 10 minutes before slicing.

  • * You could substitute the ground Italian sausage with fatty ground pork/chicken.
