The Secret Behind This Classic Lasagna Recipe.

My family first tasted this rich, homemade lasagna recipe at a friend's home on Christmas Eve. We were so impressed that it became our own holiday tradition as well.
Steps to make Lasagne:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook over medium heat for 3 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened. - - Add the garlic and cook for 1 min, then tip in the mince and cook, stirring and breaking it up with a wooden spoon, for about 6 mins until browned all over.
- Stir in the tomato purée and cook for 1 min, mixing in well with the beef. Tip in the pasta sauce. Add salt, pepper and basil leaves, stir to mix. Simmer with the lid on for 20 mins.
- Make the bechamel sauce. Gently bring 500ml whole milk to the boil in a small saucepan with 1 halved onion, studded with 1 bay leaf and 2 cloves. Turn off the heat and leave to infuse for 20 mins. - - Melt 50g butter in another saucepan, then add 50g plain flour. Stir continuously until a paste form – this is called a roux. Continue cooking for 2 mins.
- Remove the onion, bay and cloves from the milk with a slotted spoon and discard. Add the infused milk to the roux gradually, stirring as you go, until you get a smooth sauce. Cook for 5-10 mins, stirring continuously until the sauce has thickened. Season to taste.
- Heat oven to 180C fan. To assemble the lasagne, ladle a little of the sauce into the bottom of the casserole dish, spreading the sauce all over the base. Place a few sheets of lasagne on top of the sauce overlapping to make it fit, then spread white sauce, top with drops of ricotta cheese. Repeat with a further 3 layers of sauce, pasta, bechamel and ricotta, finishing with a layer of pasta.
