Lasagna with Pesto and Green Beans

Lasagna with Pesto is a vegetarian variation of the classic lasagna. It is just as exciting, if not more so, due to pesto’s bold and aromatic flavour.

Here, you learn how to make handmade pasta sheets with creamy béchamel sauce and basil pesto and how to prepare green beans. Construct the layers and top them with parmesan cheese, and you will get Pesto Lasagna, satisfaction and fullness.

What is Béchamel? It is a silky cream sauce made of butter, flour, and milk cooked with just a bit of seasoning. It can be used alone or as the base for countless other sauces.

What is Pesto? Pesto is from the area of Pra, in Liguria. In this area, it is said that if “you don’t grow basil, you’re a nobody.” Pesto is the word we use for “crushing.” Nowadays, we extend this word to the time-honoured tool duo of mortar and pestle, where the preparation method involves crushing the ingredients in a marble mortar using a wooden pestle. This traditional method is still widely used today.

The origin of this brilliantly green, fragrant sauce stretches back centuries to Roman times. The recipe for Pesto Genovese was not documented until 1865, making it a surprisingly modern invention.
