Directions:

Step 1【Bolognese sauce】

Heat the oil in a pan. Stir in onions and cook until soft, golden and translucent. Stir in chopped garlic, oregano and bay leaves.

Step 2【Bolognese sauce】

Add ground beef, brown slightly; mix in butter and stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 3【Bolognese sauce】

Add a dash of red wine, stir well until mince is evenly browned and soaked up the wine.

Step 4【Bolognese sauce】

Season with salt and pepper, then add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, mix well. Add the beef broth and gently simmer for 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally to prevent sauce from sticking to the pan. Add paprika, cinnamon, minced parsley and mix well. Remove it from the heat and set aside.

Step 5【White Sauce】

Heat a new pan and melt the butter. Add in the flour and whisk together forming a roux (base for the white sauce).

Step 6【White Sauce】

Stir in the milk, bay leaves, cream and seasoning. Whisk continually (to prevent lumps) to form a smooth sauce. Simmer gently on a medium low heat.

Step 7【White Sauce】

Remove the bay leaves from the sauce, then gently stir in the ricotta and parmesan cheese. Remove from the heat.

Step 8

Preheat oven: 350°F/180°C

Step 9

Smear the base of the lasagne dish with a thin layer of bolognese sauce. Lay the lasagne sheets over the sauce.

Step 10

Cover the lasagna with a thicker layer of bolognese sauce followed by a thinner layer of the cheese sauce. Repeat the process again, forming three layers of lasagna.
