If you’re a Nigerian living in Nigeria, you’ve probably seen Lasagna in movies or had it at a restaurant. With this recipe, you can make delicious restaurant style lasagna at home. Walk with me 😉

Ingredients:

• Lasagna sheets

• Unsalted butter

• Plain flour

• Whole milk

• Parmesan & mozzarella (grated)

You can easily find these ingredients at home or any grocery store in your area

Method:

1. Make the Bolognese

Heat olive oil in a pan. Sauté onions and garlic until soft. Add beef mince and cook until browned. Season well. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, and herbs. Simmer on low heat until thick and rich.

2. Make the Béchamel Sauce

Melt butter in a pot, add flour and whisk until smooth. Slowly add milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook until thick. Season with salt, pepper, and stock cube. Add a little Parmesan and set aside.

3. Assemble
