Maria and her daughter Paola regularly make lasagna to take away for their customers. Over the years they’ve adapted their recipe and the result is a green lasagna, layered with a pork ragù and béchamel sauce. This is Maria’s second appearance for Pasta Grannies!
The following makes two dishes, around 25 x 35 cms in dimension.
For the pasta:
10 eggs
1 kilo 00 flour
100g fresh spinach, leaves only
For the ragù:
2 garlic cloves, 2 to 3 sage leaves (wrapped in muslin)
50g unsmoked pancetta, diced
1kg minced pork (Maria uses loin)

salt
For the béchamel :
100g butter
100g flour
1 litre whole milk
