Besciamella (white sauce)
Ingredients:
100gr margarine or butter (1/2 cup)
10 spoons of flour (about 100gr)
salt and pepper to taste (not too much because besciamella has to be a kind of sweet).
a pinch of ground nutmeg
1 liter of milk

Directions:
Melt the butter in a pot and mix with flour. Pour a little bit of milk at a time always mixing to avoid the sauce to get lumpy.
Go on pouring and mixing always in the same direction until you put more or less a liter of milk and the sauce it's like a
cream. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

5-6 Spoon of oil
500-600 gr of smashed meat
1 Medium onion
1 Carrot
2 ribs of celery
Salt and pepper to taste
3 Cans of tomato puree or cans of chopped tomatoes
1 to 2 cups of fresh Mushrooms (optional)

Directons:
In a large saucepan warm up the oil, chop onions, celery and carrot in small pieces and put them in the hot oil.
Let them turn brown and add the meat (and mushroms if you want). Let it half cook and then add tomato puree.

Lasagne
Directions for lasagne:
Preheat the oven to 375-400 degrees F.
Make or buy lasagna noodles (Barilla is the best brand, one box should be enough) and grated Parmesan Cheese (2 to 3 cups).

besciamella, ragu' and parmesan cheese.
