Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make Gordon Ramsay Lasagna:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ pound ground beef
  • ½ pound ground pork
  • 1 cup red wine (or substitute with beef broth)
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 12–14 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Make the Meat Sauce:

  1. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Brown the Meat: Add the ground beef and ground pork to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  3. Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
  4. Add Tomatoes and Herbs: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let the sauce cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavorful.

Prepare the Béchamel Sauce:

  1. Make the Roux: In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to form a smooth paste (roux). Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.
  2. Add the Milk: Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  3. Finish the Sauce: Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Set the béchamel aside.

Assemble the Lasagna:

  1. Layer the Lasagna: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of meat sauce at the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top. Follow with more meat sauce, followed by a layer of béchamel sauce. Sprinkle a bit of mozzarella cheese over the béchamel.
  2. Repeat Layers: Continue layering the noodles, meat sauce, béchamel, and mozzarella until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of béchamel and mozzarella on top.
  3. Bake the Lasagna: Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Rest and Serve:

  1. Let it Rest: Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to serve.
  2. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Slice and serve hot.
