Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Breakfast
Ingredients
- Beef ragu
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 200g streaky bacon or pancetta, finely diced
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 500g low fat beef mince
- 400g tomato passata
- 200ml red wine
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Mozzarella, cut into small disks
- Lasagna sheets, cut into small disks
- Bechamel
- 50g butter
- 50g flour
- 600ml whole milk
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Potatoes
- 1.8 kg potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 3 eggs
- 90ml double cream
- 4 tbsp grated parmesan
- Sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Heat the oil in a large deep sided frying pan and fry the bacon until crisp.
- Add the crushed garlic and fry until fragrant, then sautee the onion until translucent and soft. Add the tomato puree and cook out for a minute or so before adding mince and brown all over.
- Pour over the passata and red wine and stir everything together. Season to taste, allow everything to come to a simmer and gently cook, covered, for at least an hour, preferably more.
- Meanwhile, cook the potatoes until tender in salted water. When they are tender to the point of a knife mash them thoroughly before allowing them to cool and folding through eggs, cream, parmesan and salt. Carefully spoon this mixture into a large piping bag with a large star nozzle attached and leave to cool.
- To make the bechamel, heat the butter in a sturdy saucepan. Add flour and beat to make a smooth paste. Gradually beat in the milk (use a whisk if necessary), adding it in stages so as not to end up with lumps. Season and allow to cool a little before using.
- Line a large baking tray and carefully pipe 6 large disks of the potato mixture onto it.
- Top with a circle of pasta, followed by bechamel, ragu and mozzarella. Repeat three times on each potato circle. Use the remaining potato mixture to pipe over and round the tiny lasagna.
- Place in the oven and bake until the potatoes are golden and crispy with fluffy insides.
- Serve immediately.
