INGREDIENTS (for 4 people)
400 g of Pasta (Lasagne)
100 g of Rocket
40 g of Pine nuts
1/4 of an Onion
Some pieces of Parmesan (Italian cheese)
3 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 Glass of water
50 g of Butter
500 ml of Milk
2 Tablespoons of flour
Some Nutmeg
Salt and Pepper
Marjoram

PREPARATION TIME: 20-25 minutes

COOKING TIME: 30-35 minutes

WINE: Pigato Ligure (White Wine)

PREPARATION

Wash, peel the onion and chop it. Heat 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, add in chopped onion and the pine nuts and let them brown.

Wash and dry the rocket and add it to the pan. Add 1/2 glass of water and cook for about 5 minutes until the rocket wilts. Season with salt, pepper and some marjoram.

Blend the mixture, add some pieces of Parmesan and continue to blend until the mixture becomes a sauce.

Now it's time to prepare some besciamella! In a pan melt the butter, then add the flour and mix. Add some milk, little by little, and continue to mix until you obtain a kind of cream.

Pay attention not to make lumps. Then add the rest of the milk, a pinch of salt and some nutmeg. Let the mixture simmer while continuing to stir, until the mixture thickens. When the besciamella and the pesto are ready, spread the surface of a baking pan with 2-3 tablespoons of besciamella, then make a layer with pasta, spread with 2-3 tablespoons of pesto and with 2-3 tablespoons of besciamella.

Continue in this way until the baking pan is full (make about 4-5 layers). Bake for about 30 minutes until the surface is golden.This is the result:

BUON APPETITO!
