Ingredients

• 4 whole eggs + 5 egg yolks 
• 510g flour
•  Roma Tomatoes
•  Olive oil
•  Onion
•  Garlic
•  Red wine
•  Red pepper flakes
•  Italian seasoning
•  Fresh basil 
• Chuck steak
•  Ricotta cheese
•  Mozzarella cheese

 Procedure 

Pasta sheets

•  For the pasta sheets we are going to need 4 whole eggs + 5 egg yolks and 510g flour. Stir it with a fork, incorporating flour from the sides of the well slowly, knead until all ingredients are mixed together and flour becomes smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minute.

• Start the pasta machine at the widest setting, divide the dough into 4 equal parts, set 1 aside and wrap the rest for later. Flatten that 1 part of the dough, dust the flour and roll it in the pasta machine, keep running the dough through it until it becomes slightly transparent when held to the light.

• Boil water in a pot, add salt in it. Blanch the pasta sheets for 10 seconds then cool them in cold water.

 Marinara sauce 

• Boil the water and blanch tomatoes for about 5 minutes. Cut, peel and quarter the tomatoes. 
• Add olive oil in a pan on medium heat.
•  Peel and dice an onion. Add diced onion in the pan.
•  Slice 2 garlic cloves and add them in the pan.
•  Add red wine in the pan and cook down all liquid then add tomatoes.
•  Cover the pan with lid for 15 minutes, then add red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning and cook uncovered for 1 hour. 
• Add fresh basil, let wilt and puree with an immersion blender.
•  Set this aside. 

Meat 

• Cut the chuck steak in pieces, prep the meat grinder and grind the meat.
•  Brown and season the ground beef with salt and pepper.
•  Combine the meat and marinara sauce.

 

Assembling

•  Now assemble the lasagna accordingly.
•  Firstly marinara, then pasta, then ricotta cheese, fresh mozzarella, and basil. then repeat, repeat, repeat. 

• 
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, then cool for 2 or more hours. (for perfectly structured lasagna)

 Enjoy :D
