Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Potatoes
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 14 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (1/8-inch thick) using a sharp knife or mandoline. Set the slices aside in cold water to prevent browning.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for 10 minutes. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix well. Remove the sauce from heat.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a paste.
Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the white sauce from heat.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Drain and pat the potato slices dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Spread a thin layer of sausage-tomato sauce on the bottom of the dish. Add a single layer of potato slices on top.
Spread a layer of white sauce over the potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
