In the kitchen 8 steps
- For the béchamel, melt the butter (80 g) in a saucepan over low heat, add the flour (80 g) and stir for 2 minutes without letting it colour.
- Gradually pour in the cold milk (800 ml) while whisking, then let thicken for 10 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly. Season with salt and grate in a little nutmeg (to taste).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, leave to cool for 5 minutes, then mix two thirds of the béchamel with the pesto (140 g). Keep the rest plain.
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C. If the packet instructions call for it, place the lasagne sheets (280 g) in a large pan of salted boiling water for 1 minute, then lay them flat on a tea towel.
- Spread a thin layer of plain béchamel over the bottom of a baking dish, then layer the lasagne sheets, pesto béchamel and grated Parmesan (120 g), making four or five layers.
- Finish with the plain béchamel and the remaining Parmesan.
- Cover with a sheet of baking paper and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the paper and leave to brown for another 10 minutes.
- Leave to rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Tip: Never boil the pesto: stirred into warm béchamel and covered with baking paper during the first part of cooking, it keeps its colour and basil aroma.
