Lasagna is the ultimate comfort food, and this classic recipe features a rich, slow-simmered halal beef ragu seasoned with Italian herbs and garlic, layered between fresh pasta sheets. What sets this recipe apart is the inclusion of a homemade, silky-smooth Béchamel sauce (white sauce) in addition to or instead of just ricotta, providing an extra layer of creamy richness that ensures the lasagna remains incredibly moist. Baked until the top is golden-brown and bubbling with melted mozzarella and Parmesan, it's a labor of love that is well worth the time, offering a complete, crowd-pleasing, and incredibly hearty Italian meal.

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). In a saucepan, brown the halal ground beef. Drain any excess fat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and Italian herbs. Simmer for 20 minutes to create the ragu.
2
Make the Béchamel: Melt the butter in a separate pot, whisk in the flour, and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk until the sauce is thick and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
3
Assemble the lasagna in the baking dish: Spread a thin layer of ragu on the bottom, followed by a layer of noodles, a layer of Béchamel, and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of Béchamel and a generous covering of mozzarella and Parmesan.
4
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbling. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
