Classic Lasagna Bolognese With Ragù And Béchamel Sauce (the clever carrot)
  1. Make The Ragù Bolognese Sauce and chill in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze up to 3 months. Warm slightly before using.

  2. Make The Béchamel Sauce and chill in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze up to 3 months. Stir chilled béchamel sauce until smooth.

  3. Roll the pasta dough into sheets, approximately .60 mm thick. Cut the sheets into lasagna noodles to fit a 9×13-inch baking pan.

  4. Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil; season with 1 tbsp. fine sea salt. Add 1-2 lasagna noodles and boil for only 30 seconds. Remove and plunge into an ice bath.

  5. Spread ¼ cup béchamel sauce on the bottom and sides of a 9×13-inch baking pan. Lay (2) lasagna sheets on top, slightly overlapping.

  6. Top with 1 cup ragù, spreading it all the way to the corners.

  7. Add ½ cup béchamel on top of the ragù and mix the sauces together.

  8. Top with a generous handful of ground Parmesan cheese, about ¼ cup.

  9. Repeat the layering process until you get to the last layer of pasta. Top the last layer with ½ cup béchamel sauce and a few dollops of ragù.

  10. Cover the lasagna with foil and bake at 350 F for 30 minutes.

  11. Remove the foil and broil until bubbly and golden brown.

  12. Rest the lasagna for at least 25-30 minutes before slicing.
