Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 stick butter
½ cup flour
8 cups milk
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ cup olive oil
2 cups onion, finely chopped
2 cups carrot, finely chopped
2 cups celery, finely chopped
6 lb ground beef, 80% lean 20% fat
115 oz tomato sauce, 4 cans
½ cup tomato paste
4 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon salt
½ tablespoon black pepper
110 no-boil flat lasagna noodles
2 cups grated parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh chives, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Lay down about 6 feet (1.8 meters) of tinfoil on a flat surface. Place place 4 clusters of 2 lasagna noodles towards the left half of the foil sheet, leaving about a ½-inch (1 cm) gap in between each cluster.
  • Fold the right half of foil over the noodles, pressing flat. To help you see where the noodles are, run your finger along the edges of the noodles to create a rough outline in the foil.
  • Fold the top and bottom flaps of foil over, creasing and pressing flat.
  • Flip the foil sheet onto the table so that it's now standing, then arrange into a square box, using the 4 groups of noodles as a visual guide. Fold and crease over any excess foil to join the ends together, then set aside.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Whisk in the flour, cooking until the mixture reaches a light golden color.
  • Slowly drizzle in the milk and bring to a boil, whisking constantly until smooth. Mix in salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil.
  • Transfer the béchamel to a large bowl and press plastic wrap onto the surface of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a very large pot over high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook until the vegetables have started to sweat but aren't browning.
  • Add in the ground beef and use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the meat into small pieces.
  • Cook the beef, stirring occasionally, until half of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Add in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, chicken stock, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine evenly and breaking up any last lumps.
  • Turn down the heat to low, and simmer, covered, for about 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • To assemble, line a greased 9x9-inch (23x23-cm) square baking pan with 2 sheets of foil that extend over the sides.
  • Spread a thin layer of béchamel on the lined baking pan and top with 2 lasagna noodles. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce evenly across the noodles, followed by a thin layer of béchamel. Repeat the layering process, following the order of: 2 noodles, meat sauce, and béchamel. Alternate the direction of the lasagna sheets after every layer.
  • After 50 layers, place the foil box over the lasagna, helping it stay upright and stable.
  • Continue with the layering process until the 99th layer.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan on top, then cover the whole lasagna with foil.
  • Bake for about 1½ hours, uncovering the foil halfway, until the top is a deep golden brown.
  • Cool for at least 2 hours, then carefully lift out the lasagna with the foil sleeves onto a large cutting board.
  • Peel away the foil walls, then sprinkle the top of the lasagna generously with chives.
  • Cut and serve.
  • Enjoy!
