Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the broiler unit, and preheat the broiler. Line 4 rimmed baking sheets with wire racks.
  • For the lasagna chips: Bring a large pasta pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
  • Cook the lasagna noodles 2 minutes shy of the package directions. Drain the noodles and immediately plunge them into the ice water. Drain the noodles, put them on the prepared baking sheets and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the noodles into triangles using kitchen scissors so they resemble tortilla chips.
  • Put the oil and 2 tablespoon water in a large bowl. Add the lasagna chips and toss to combine. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and toss until evenly coated. Put the coated lasagna chips on the prepared baking sheets. Broil in batches until golden and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
  • For the Bolognese sauce: Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or braiser over medium heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, put the onion, carrots, celery and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Stir the vegetable mixture into the ground beef, season with salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and add the thyme sprigs. To deglaze the Dutch oven, add the wine, scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon and cook for 30 seconds before stirring in the tomato puree. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove the Dutch oven from the heat, stir in the milk and season with salt and pepper. Set aside until ready to use.
  • For the bechamel: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and thyme leaves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook until the mixture bubbles, about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook over low heat until thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the fontina.
  • For the spicy pesto: Combine the walnuts and garlic in a mortar and pestle and pound to a paste. Add the basil leaves, a handful at a time, grinding down to a paste with each addition. Add the cheese and drizzle in the Calabrian chili oil and olive oil. Season with salt and combine well until emulsified.
  • To serve, put the lasagna chips on a large serving platter, then top with the Bolognese sauce, Bechamel and Spicy Pesto.

CLASSIC LASAGNA

While not a 30-minute meal, this lasagna is quicker and more straightforward than most. If you're in a real time crunch, use your favorite jarred red sauce. For greater success with the lasagna noodles, which have a tendency to stick together, boil them in the largest pot possible or work in batches - they need as much water as possible to move freely so they don't clump. This lasagna can be assembled, baked and refrigerated up to five days ahead, or frozen up to a month ahead if wrapped tightly.

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Heat oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add sausage, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's starting to brown but not yet crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Add onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is totally softened and translucent (without letting it brown), 8 to 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and continue to cook, stirring until the tomato paste has turned a deeper brick red color, tinting the oil and onions a fiery orange color, about 2 minutes.
  • Using your hands, crush the whole tomatoes into smaller, bite-size pieces and add them and the crushed tomatoes, stirring to scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pot. Fill one of the tomato cans halfway with water and add it to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomato sauce has thickened and flavors have come together, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Make the lasagna: Heat oven to 375 degrees and set a large pot of salted water to boil.
  • Set aside 1 cup mozzarella. In a medium bowl, combine remaining mozzarella, ricotta, 1 cup Parmesan and cream; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Cook lasagna noodles in the large pot of salted boiling water until just softened (before they are even aldente), about 4 minutes. Drain and separate any noodles that are trying to stick together, slicking them with a bit of olive oil to prevent them from sticking further.
  • Spoon a bit of sauce on the bottom of a 3-quart baking dish and top with a layer of noodles, avoiding any heavy overlap.
  • Top with about 1 ¼ cups of sauce, and dollop ¼ of the cheese mixture over. Top with another layer of noodles and repeat three more times, ending with the last of the noodles (depending on size of the noodle/shape of the baking dish, you may have a few extra noodles) and the last of the sauce. Top with reserved 1 cup mozzarella and more Parmesan, if you like.
  • Cover loosely with aluminum foil and place baking dish on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet (to prevent any overflow from burning on the bottom of your oven).
  • Bake until pasta is completely tender and cooked through and sauce is bubbling up around the edges, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove foil and increase temperature to 450 degrees. Continue to bake until lasagna is golden brown on top with frilly, crispy edges and corners, another 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before eating.
