preparation
1
Prepare the béchamel: heat the milk in a small saucepan without bringing it to a boil. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. In another saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, add the flour, and whisk vigorously to form a golden roux. Gradually add a little milk to loosen the mixture, then pour in the rest, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until smooth and velvety.
2
Sauté the chopped onion with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, then add the crushed tomatoes. Simmer for about 10 minutes, season with salt and pepper, and add fresh basil leaves.
3
Spread a thin layer of béchamel on the bottom of a baking dish. Place two uncooked Giant Ravioli on top, cover with a generous layer of béchamel, then add two tablespoons of tomato sauce. Finish with a handful of grated mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano.
4
Repeat to create a second layer, finishing with all the sauces and plenty of Parmigiano for a perfect golden crust. Bake in a preheated fan oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 30 minutes, until golden and slightly crispy on top.
5
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, with extra tomato sauce on the side, and enjoy a gourmet, innovative take on classic lasagna.
