Cook on medium heat for around ten minutes until the vegetables have softened. Next, add the rosemary and garlic and fry for another two minutes.<\/p>\n<p>While the vegetables are cooking, take a separate frying pan and fry both the minced beef and pork on high heat. Cook until all the juices have evaporated from the pan and the meat has browned.<\/p>\n<p>Once the meat is fully cooked, add the red wine and continue cooking until the red wine has reduced by half. Add the beef, pork and red wine to the saucepan with the vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>Next, add the beef stock, tinned chopped tomatoes and bay leaves to the saucepan.<\/p>\n<p>Give the sauce a good stir, and now let it simmer for a couple of hours so that the meat comes out tender and flavourful. Cook on low-medium heat for at least two hours or for a maximum of four hours.<\/p>\n<p>It is now time to cook the butternut squash. Add it diced to a roasting tray and drizzle on some olive oil. Cook in the oven for around 30 minutes until fully roasted, and once cooked set it aside to cool.<\/p>\n<p>You can now get the b\u00e9chemel cheese sauce ready. Warm milk in a saucepan and in a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted add the flour and mix well for around two minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Slowly add your milk a ladle at a time to your flour-butter mixture. Mix well until a smooth sauce, and continue until all the milk has been added.<\/p>\n<p>Add the grated cheese to the mixture until melted, and then add the nutmeg. Mic well and then take off the heat and set aside for now.<\/p>\n<p>Cook the pasta sheets by boiling them in salted water for a few minutes and following the instructions on the package.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you can layer your pasta. In a large roasting tray, spook some of your bolognese ragu sauce first, then spoon over some of your cheesy b\u00e9chemel followed by a third layer of roasted butternut squash. Next, add a pasta sheet and keep repeating the layers until at the top of the roasting tray, which should be around three layers.<\/p>\n<p>Once at the top of the lasagna, pour over any remaining cheesy b\u00e9chemel on top of the final pasta layer, which should cover the entire top layer.<\/p>\n<p>Sprinkle grated parmesan and cheddar cheese on top and cook in the oven for around 40 minutes, or until crispy, golden and bubbling with cheese on top.<\/p>\n<p>Once out of the oven, let it sit for a few minutes to cool and your cheesy lasagna is now ready.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Daily Express US on Facebook and Twitter @ExpressUSNews<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/life-style\/food\/1827514\/how-to-make-autumn-lasagna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autumn is a time when many people are looking for something hearty and filling for dinner to enjoy, and this delicious lasagna recipe is perfect to enjoy during the colder and rainier weather.
