Step 1

FOR FRESH PASTA SHEETS Combine semolina, eggs, and a pinch of salt, knead the dough, wrap in a plastic wrap to rest for 1 hour at room temperature, or refrigerate overnight. When ready to continue, use pasta making machine to stretch fresh pasta sheets 1-2 mm thick. Cut them to the size of your baking dish and dust with flour to prevent sticking. Refrigerate in a closed container until ready to use.

Step 2

FOR SAUCE Melt 2 tbsp butter. Saute one chopped leek (white part) until soft and sweet. Add flour, stir, and cook for a few seconds. Add fish stock and vermouth, stir and cook until thick. Add heavy whipping cream, stir, and cook until thick. Add mustard, stir, and continue cooking. Add lemon juice, stir, and continue cooking. Turn off the heat, add egg yolk, stir to combine.

Step 3

FOR VEGETABLES Melt 2 tbsp butter. Saute chopped and diced veggies until soft and lightly caramelized. Season with salt and black pepper to your taste. Add half of the sauce and combine well.

Step 4

FOR BREADCRUMBS In a bowl, combine 40g of butter, 40g of breadcrumbs, 1 tbsp dry parsley, and pressed garlic. Rub them using your fingers.

Step 5

Dice fish fillet(s).

Step 6

Preheat oven 400F.

Step 7

Line baking dishes with parchment. Layers from the bottom are — pasta, sauce, veggies, pasta, breadcrumbs, fish, pasta, veggies, pasta, breadcrumbs + sauce. If you have any extra pasta sheets, you can line them with cheese slices, roll, and place them on top of the lasagna. Brush them with butter before baking.

Step 8

Bake for 25 min or until the top of the lasagne is golden.

Step 9

Let lasagne rest for about 1 hour after baking to cool and set.

Step 10

Run the knife around the edges of the baking dish. Flip the baking dish upside down to release the lasagne. The parchment should stick to the bottom of the baking dish. If it is attached to the bottom of lasagna instead, peel it off. Slice lasagne into the portions and serve.
