For the Béchamel Sauce
Instructions
Combine the cooked ground beef with tomato paste and strained tomato juice (puree). Add desired salt and spices, and mix well.
Add water to make the sauce liquid, and let it simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, when the color has become very rich, add the desired amount of hot pepper sauce and stir well. Remove the sauce from the heat.
In a pan, melt the butter. Add the flour and stir it into the butter.
Gradually add the milk while stirring continuously.
Once the sauce reaches a slightly thinner consistency than desired for béchamel, add salt, black pepper, and bouillon cube. Stir well and remove from heat.
Lightly coat the bottom of a baking dish with olive oil and a small amount of beef sauce to prevent the pasta from sticking.
Place the first layer of raw lasagna sheets. Spread a layer of ricotta cheese, followed by some mozzarella cheese and a portion of the beef sauce.
Repeat the layering process. On the final pasta layer, place ricotta, then cover with the remaining beef sauce, and top with béchamel.
Finish with a layer of mozzarella cheese for color.
Cover the dish with foil. Place it in a preheated oven at 200°C.
After about 45 minutes, once the pasta is cooked, remove the foil. Turn on the broiler and bake until the top is golden brown.
Remove the lasagna from the oven when the top is browned. Serve it hot.
