Classic Ukrainian lasagna recipe
1
Classic lasagna is the true queen of Italian cuisine, a dish that always impresses with its rich flavor and appetizing appearance. Layers of tender pasta, juicy meat sauce, fragrant tomato base, and delicate creamy béchamel create a perfect balance. This is one of those cases where simple ingredients combine to deliver a restaurant-quality result.
Variations for Every Taste
If you want to add a twist to the classic, try replacing beef with chicken or turkey, or make a vegetarian version with zucchini, eggplant, and spinach. For a more delicate flavor, use a mix of beef and pork mince — this makes the dish even juicier.
Secrets of Sauces and Texture
The secret to a silky béchamel is the right thickness and careful stirring to avoid lumps. The meat “Bolognese” sauce is best simmered slowly so that all the flavors blend harmoniously. To keep the pasta from becoming tough, simply cover it with enough sauce, which will keep the layers soft while baking.
Small Culinary Touches
Choose high-quality tomatoes or tomatoes in their own juice, as they are responsible for a bright, full-bodied taste. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the béchamel and a basil leaf to the tomato sauce — these small details give the lasagna an unforgettable aroma. Serve it hot with a glass of dry wine or a light salad, and you’ll understand why this dish has conquered the world.

Prepare the Bolognese sauce. Heat the olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion, carrot, and garlic until soft. Add the ground meat and cook until it changes color. Pour in the tomato purée, season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Simmer over low heat for 20–25 minutes.
02
Prepare the Béchamel sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter, add the flour, and stir until smooth. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook until thickened.
03
Assemble the lasagna. Spread a layer of Bolognese sauce in a baking dish, top with lasagna sheets, then add Béchamel sauce and a little grated cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used. The top layer should be Béchamel and cheese.

Bake. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and bake the lasagna for 30–35 minutes, until the top is golden. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving so the layers can set.
