Step-by-Step Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Tomato Base
In a saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil. Add the Cirio Sieved Tomatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and simmer for 10–15 minutes until slightly thickened. This creates a smooth and balanced tomato layer for your lasagne.
Step 2: Prepare the Béchamel
If making from scratch, prepare your béchamel sauce until creamy and smooth. Alternatively, use a high-quality ready-made option.
Step 3: Start Layering
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
In a baking dish:
- Spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce.
- Add a layer of the tomato sauce.
- Sprinkle grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
- Place the first layer of lasagna sheets.
Step 4: Build the Layers
Repeat the layering process (ideally 5 layers), ensuring each layer has enough tomato sauce and béchamel to prevent dryness.
💡 Chef Tip:
Allow the tomato sauce to simmer properly before layering — this enhances flavor and prevents excess moisture.
Step 5: Bake
Bake at 200°C for 30 minutes until golden and bubbling.
Step 6: Rest & Serve
Remove from the oven and let the lasagne rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 4 portions. This helps the layers set beautifully.
Serve warm and enjoy authentic Italian comfort.
