Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Make the bolognese sauce: In the pot that you will bake the lasagne in, mix the onion, garlic, carrot and celery and fry gently in the butter until soft. Some light fames should give you the correct heat. If it boils too rapidly, remove the pot from the fames and heat it with a few coals. Add the meat, wine, tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Stir very well then simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring now and then. Keep the cooked sauce in another container until you need it for step 3.

Step 2

Make the béchamel sauce:In a separate pot, melt the butter and use a wooden spoon to mix the four completely into the melted butter. Now add the stock bit by bit while you continuously stir the mixture. When all the stock has been added, let the sauce simmer for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream, Parmesan and nutmeg. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Make the lasagne: Fill the cast-iron pot with layers of bolognese sauce, pasta sheets and béchamel sauce. A fat-bottomed pot will result in a neater lasagne but any round-bottomed pot is also fne.

Step 4

Put the lid on the pot and bake the lasagne for about 50 minutes by placing the pot on a stand over coals and also putting a few coals on the lid of the pot. When all the pasta sheets are completely soft, the lasagne is ready.
