An exquisite Italian classic featuring layers of tender lasagna sheets, a rich and savory beef bolognese sauce, and a velvety béchamel, all topped with a golden, bubbling crust of melted mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

Ingredients for Gourmet Beef Lasagna

• 250g lasagna sheets
• 300g premium ground beef
• 1.5 cups marinara or bolognese sauce
• 1 cup creamy béchamel sauce
• 1.5 cups shredded Mozzarella & Parmesan mix
• Fresh parsley, finely chopped for garnish

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and brown the ground beef with finely chopped onions and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs, then stir in the marinara sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Boil the lasagna sheets in salted water until just al dente, then drain carefully (or use no-boil sheets directly).
4. To assemble, spread a thin layer of beef sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Lay down lasagna sheets, followed by another layer of beef sauce, a drizzle of béchamel, and a handful of the cheese mix. Repeat the layers.
5. Top the final layer of sheets with the remaining béchamel, beef sauce, and a generous layer of mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
6. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is completely melted, bubbling, and beautifully golden-brown. Garnish with fresh parsley, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
