Introduction

In a world where cooking has become increasingly frenetic and recipes are often forgotten, there are dishes that deserve to be jealously guarded. These recipes aren’t just a combination of ingredients; they tell stories, traditions, and memories. In this article, I’m sharing a special recipe I sent to everyone who welcomed me with warmth and affection. It’s a dish that combines flavor and conviviality, perfect for any occasion.

1. The Value of Traditional Recipes

1.1. A Link to History

Every recipe has a story. Traditional dishes are often passed down from generation to generation, bringing with them the flavors of the past and the experiences of those who prepared them. These recipes represent a link to the past, a way to honor our roots and keep alive the memory of loved ones.

1.2. Union and Conviviality

Cooking and sharing a meal is one of the oldest ways to bring people together. Traditional recipes have the power to bring families and friends together around the table, creating moments of joy and conviviality. Every bite evokes the affection and care with which it was prepared.

2. The Treasure Recipe: Baked Lasagna

2.1. Necessary Ingredients

To make a baked lasagna that will win everyone over, you will need the following ingredients:

For the tomato sauce:

  • 800 g of peeled tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes)
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil

For the filling:

  • 500 g of ricotta
  • 300 g of mozzarella (or scamorza)
  • 100 g of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the lasagna:

  • 250g lasagna sheets (fresh or dried)
  • 50 g butter (to grease the pan)

2.2. Preparation of the Tomato Sauce

  1. Sauté : In a saucepan, heat the olive oil and add the chopped onion and crushed garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
  2. Tomatoes : Add the peeled tomatoes, mashing them with a fork. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh basil. Cook over medium heat for about 20-30 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

2.3. Preparation of the filling

  1. Ricotta : In a bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
  2. Mozzarella : Cut the mozzarella into cubes and set aside.

2.4. Assembling the Lasagna

  1. Preparing the Pan : Butter a baking pan.
  2. First Layer : Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of the pan. Arrange the lasagna sheets, covering them well.
  3. Filling : Add a third of the ricotta mixture and a little mozzarella. Cover with another layer of tomato sauce.
  4. Repeat : Continue layering until you run out of ingredients, ending with a layer of lasagna covered in tomato sauce and a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

2.5. Cooking

  1. Preheat oven : Set oven to 180°C.
  2. Bake : Bake the lasagna for about 40-45 minutes, until the surface is golden and crispy.
  3. Resting : Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the layers stabilize.
