INSTRUCTIONS
How to Prepare Bolognese Sauce: Heat the oil in a 4-to-5-quart
saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta, onion, celery and
carrot and saut until the onions just begin to color. Add the meat
and brown over medium heat. Drain off the fat, add the wine, and
reduce by half. Add the stock and let bubble until almost evaporated.
Lower the heat, add the milk and cook for one hour with the pot
partially covered. Add the tomatoes and cook uncovered for 45 minutes
or until the sauce resembles a thick, meaty stew. Season with salt
and pepper. How to Prepare Bchamel: Melt the butter in a 3-to-4-quart
saucepan over medium-low heat. Sprinkle with flour and whisk until
smooth. Continue whisking for about two minutes. Whisk in the milk a
little at a time, keeping the mixture smooth. Bring to a slow boil,
and stir three to four minutes or until the sauce thickens. Cook for
five minutes or until the raw flour taste has disappeared. Season with
salt, pepper and nutmeg. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the pasta and cook until the pasta is barely tender, drain, and
rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Spread a thin layer of
Bchamel sauce (milk sauce) in the bottom of a lasagna dish. Arrange a
layer of four overlapping sheets of pasta over the Bchamel. Spread a
thin layer of Bchamel over the pasta and then an equally thin layer of
the Bolognese sauce. Sprinkle with one to two tablespoons of the
grated Parmigiano, and repeat the process with the remaining
ingredients. Reserve about 1/3 cup of Bchamel and 1/3 cup of the
cheese for the top of the lasagna. Spread the sauce to completely
cover the last layer of pasta. Then top with a generous dusting of
cheese. Bake the lasagna, covered with foil, for 40 minutes at 350 F.
Remove the foil and continue cooking an additional 10 minutes or until
hot in the center. Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting. © 1997
