Minced Meat Lasagna

Do we need long talks to introduce this dish? Doesn’t everybody already know the famous minced meat lasagna? Sure ! But, as many other traditional and family dishes, we always have doubts when cooking them, doubts about the quantities or the cooking time.

This is where me, your devoted chef ( 😉 ), come in the picture and write everything down for you!! Thank you who again??

Minced meat lasagna is what my children ask for every now and then!!

You can already find my bolognese sauce on the blog, you’ll also find the recipe of my bechamel sauce. Put the two together, add a few lasagna pasta layers and you’ll get the ultimate homemade minced meat lasagna!!

Ready for a trip to Italy? The recipe, Chef!
