Lasagna al forno

Today is Sunday and I have decided to make some lasagna ...

I already had some ragù ... from the day before ...

But I had to make the - "Besciamella".

To make the besciamella I used:

Some flour, about half a litre of milk, two glasses of water, some melting cheese and a cube of bouillon.

I usually put some flour into a big glass and slowly pour over some milk. ( a bit at the time)

I mix the flour and milk, very carefully, until I get a smooth cream ...

At this point, I put everything into a pan, and added some more milk and water ...

I cooked over a low heat, until it got sort of thick ...

When the sauce was ready I added some cheese ... Cooked for another 3/4 minutes, until the cheese was completely melted ...

First I put some ragù in the bottom, and then I lay the lasagna ...

After I spread some besciamella, and lay other lasagna ...

again ... some more ragù ...

I covered the last layer with besciamella and parmesan cheese ...

I put it in preheated oven (200 C) for about 25 minutes.

It was delicious ...

Caponata

To make a caponata you need:

eggplants (aubergines)
peppers
onions
olive oil and vinegar
salt and sugar

Chop a large onion ...

and cut longwise the peppers ...

stew the onions and peppers, with some olive oil, for about half an hour

At this point, you cut the eggplants into small squares ...

Then you cover everything with a lot of salt and water. Leave it like this for about half an hour. The salt is supposed to take out the bitterness of the eggplants ...

Drain the eggplants in a colander and stew them with some onions and tomatoes. Again, add some olive oil ...
