How to make it
- Prepare filling:
- In a medium skillet, cook the pancetta.
- Add garlic.
- Add wine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Stir in parsley and salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Butter an 18-by-13 1/2-by-3-inch baking dish.
- Spread a layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom of the dish.
- Add half the pasta to the pan.
- Top with half the remaining sauce and half the pancetta mixture.
- Sprinkle with half of the Parmesan and pecorino.
- Top with remaining pasta.
- Top with remaining pancetta mixture, sauce and cheeses. (Can be prepared one day in advance.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Let lasagna come to room temperature before baking.)
- Cover with foil and bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
- smaller version:
- Assembly
- Follow same directions as for larger version, except use a 13-by-9-by-3-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Decrease baking time to 20 to 30 minutes, covered with foil, and an additional 10 to 15 minutes uncovered.
- Let rest 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
- Bechemel sauce: The directions are the same for each quantity.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk over low heat just until small bubbles come to the surface.
- Remove the pan from direct heat, cover and keep warm.
- In a separate saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
- Whisk the flour into the butter and continue to whisk for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in the warmed milk; bring to a simmer and whisk frequently until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes for a small batch, 6 to 8 for a larger batch.
- Remove from the heat.
- Stir in salt and pepper.
- To prevent a skin from forming on top of the sauce, either whisk occasionally as the sauce cools or place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the sauce.
- Use immediately or cool to room temperature.
- Keep in an airtight container and refrigerate overnight.
- Reheat sauce before assembling lasagna.
