This Genovese Lasagne<\/strong> is a great alternative to the traditional Bolognese Lasagne<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and it is perfect for people who follow a vegetarian diet.<\/p>\n It’s\u00a0quick,\u00a0easy\u00a0and effortless!<\/p>\n Tips:<\/p>\n – In most cases, you don’t need to pre-cook the lasagna sheets<\/strong> but\u00a0choose a good quality pasta because the texture is fundamental to absorb the sauce.<\/p>\n –\u00a0Basil Pesto<\/a><\/strong> is a versatile sauce full of flavour but again, the quality is fundamental to obtain the best results. The basil cultivated to make our sauce grows high up on the hills of Liguria, a place known for its perfect growing climate. Try it!<\/p>\n Ready for a new delicious recipe? Prepare with me my:<\/p>\n To make the white sauce, we had to follow the same procedure used for the\u00a0Bolognese Lasagne.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Warm up the milk in a small pot, flavour it with grated nutmeg and reserve.<\/p>\n In a second pot, add the butter and melt it. Then, add the flour, stirring vigorously and add the warm milk. Do this slowly, constantly stirring and preventing the formation of clots. Cook for 5-6 minutes until you obtain a consistency of medium thickness.<\/p>\n Boil the potatoes and crumble them, to obtain big crumbles.<\/p>\n In the meanwhile, boil the green beans too, in a separated pan.<\/p>\n Take a 30x20cm oven pan, and grease it with a bit of butter, and spread a spoon of white sauce on the bottom. Make the first layer of lasagne sheets.<\/p>\n On top, add a layer of Basil Pesto<\/a> and a handful of toasted pine nuts.<\/p>\n Then, add some potato crumbs and a few boiled green beans.<\/p>\n Finally, sprinkle with generous grated parmesan, and a further layer of white sauce.<\/p>\n Make other layers following the same sequence (lasagne-pesto-toasted pinenuts-potato crumbles-green beans-grated parmesan-white sauce).<\/p>\n The last layer should end with pesto<\/a>, white sauce, toasted pine nuts, and parmesan (you’re allowed to exaggerate!).<\/p>\nGenoese Pesto Lasagne<\/h1>\n
