Bolognese Lasagna
Jul 17th, 2007 | By Peter Minakis | Category: Beef, Main, Pasta
My gal, Christine Cushing hit a home run with this recipe when she had her Christine Cushing Live show. I had always found homemade lasagna to be a dish that often had varied results…it would flop like a blob upon serving and would be dry the next day.
Say goodbye to frozen lasagna and any old recipe you might be using. This method has no ricotta cheese but uses a Bechamel sauce to act as the glue to this Italian classic.
I can see this method being used to try different types of lasagna….vegetable, mushroom, seafood, or just a cheese & tomato lasagna.
In CC’s show (Christine Cushing), she made her own pasta dough but I was quite happy using fresh made pasta from the grocer. Also, her recipe states that recipe should have 6 layers, whereas I could only get to 4 with the recipe. Four layers was plenty for this stacked, “mille feuille” style lasagna.
I found the flavour to be “Italian”, tasty, creamy, it did not flop on me and it held up well as a moist leftover.
From now on, I’m making lasagna in this style.

Your lasagna looks fabulous. :)
This really does look good, and I agree, lasagna can be rather… unpredictable in it’s consistency.
Wow – that sliced piece looks incredible. Lasagna with bechamel sauce is something I havent’ tried.
yum, yum, yum!
The lasagna looks great! My mom’s home made lasagna was one of my favorite meals as a kid. I have yet to try making it myself. These photos have definitely started the craving!
Fear not Kevin…it wasn’t that hard actually and damn the bechamel rocks!
This looks fabulous! What a great looking lasagna.
Wow!
We love lasagna here in São Paulo and yours would be a hit! It looks so delicious!
In a word: perfection
