My lasagne recipe. Loosely based on Mario Batali's lasagne bolognese.

Lasagne

Ingredients

  • One batch of tomato sauce.
  • One batch of besciamella.
  • Two pounds of mozarella, cut into 0.25 inch thick slabs or rounds.
  • A pound of goat cheese, crumbled in chunks no larger than grape-sized.
  • A box of lasagne noodles (non-curly edges would be best).
  • A half-pound of Parmagiano Reggiano, grated coarsely.
  • A quarter-pound of Pecorino Romano or Fulvi Romano, grated coarsely.
  • A deep pan to bake the lasagne in.

Bootstrapping

  • Set oven to 375.
  • Oil or butter the deep pan, all the way up the sides.

Assembly

Each layer

  • Put down a layer of red sauce.
  • Top that with a Jackson Pollock-style slathering of Besciamella.
  • Top that with slabs of mozarella (leave plenty of space between them).
  • Top that with a scattering of goat cheese.
  • Top that with a layer of noodles straight from the box.
    • You can break them into shapes to tessallate properly.
    • The noodles do not have to be boiled. In fact, raw is best. They will cook in the lasagne juice.

Construction

  • Repeat the process for each layer until you reach the top of the pan.
  • Atop the last layer, spread the Parmigiano Reggiano and the Pecorino / Fulvi Romano.
