Recipe 33- Greek lasagna


Now it is time to use this besamel.
Let's prepare lasagna the greek way!

Ingredients

500gr minced beef
100 gr tomato paste
200 gr tomato sauce
2 tomatoes chopped
1 onion chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
1-2 cups of water
salt/pepper to taste

Lasagne pasta

Besamel sauce

200 gr Feta cheese shredded
200 gr Pecorino Amfilohias (or other yellow cheese) shredded

Heat a pot with the oil in it, over medium high temperature. Put the onion, tomatoes and beef. Stir well and add the wine. Allow to cook for 5 min, then add the tomato paste and sauce. Mix in 1-2 cups of water. You need the sauce watery because this will allow the pasta to heat and cook properly.
Lower the temperature to sim and cook for 1 hour. In the end add salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat the oven at 345F (170C). In a large baking pan (36cmX25cm) put a little bit of the besamel and minced beef sauce. Place a layer of lasagna pasta. Now put more of the besamel sauce, minced beef sauce and mix of shredded cheese. Place another layer of lasagna and repeat with the sauces and cheese. Place the last layer of lasagna and cover with the remaining sauces and cheese. Make sure the edges are completely covered by sauce. If not, add a little bit of water.
Put the pan into the oven and bake for 25 min.

There you go!

Enjoy!
