Maria passed away on 12 December 2021 aged 92; this video was made in 2020. She made this lasagna for her customers to take away. Over the years she adapted the recipe and the result is a green lasagna, layered with a pork ragù and béchamel sauce. This is Maria’s second appearance for Pasta Grannies!
The following makes two dishes, around 25 x 35 cms in dimension.
For the pasta:
10 eggs
1 kilo 00 flour
100g fresh spinach, leaves only
For the ragù:
2 garlic cloves, 2 to 3 sage leaves (wrapped in muslin)
50g unsmoked pancetta, diced
1kg minced pork (Maria uses loin)
1 litre meat stock (Maria uses beef)
1 x 400g tin of tomato paste
salt
For the béchamel :
100g butter
100g flour
1 litre whole milk
1/2 a nutmeg, grated
For sprinkling: 50g Parmigiano (or more, if you feel like it)
Our family love this lasagne, best ever. Rest in peace Maria and thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. Next time we enjoy it we will raise a glass to you x
la nostra famiglia adora questa lasagna, la migliore in assoluto. Riposa in pace Maria e grazie per aver condiviso la tua saggezza. La prossima volta che ci divertiremo, ti brinderemo con un brindisi.
One year ago Maria inspired me to start cooking home made pasta. A couple of days ago I heard from some colleagues: 'you just cooked the best lasagne we ever eat'. Grazie, Maria!
I used to eat at a Sicilian restaurant. The food was excellent. Their lasagne looked different than what’s shown here in the beginning. Just saying. I wonder what part of Italy this lady’s from.
Ohh my thoughts go to Maria and her family. A truly wonderful and funny soul, and such a pleasure to watch her make this simply perfect and delicious lasagne! 92!! My grandmother is about to turn 90 and she always loved making us Lasagne and Italian ricotta cheesecake whenever we had a birthday or special occasion. Thank you Maria and thank you to all the women involved in Pasta Grannies! What a chance to see these masters at work and share their knowledge, passion and legacy! Grazie a te! Bellissima! 🥰🙏💙
I have never, in my entire life, subscribed to something so fast. I'm 34 years old, I've been using the internet since most of you have been alive. I miss my grandma's so much
I have been cooking this lasagna so many times! My family loves it so much I don't use any other recipes. I needed now to check recipe again and saw that Maria is no longer with us 😢 Rest in piece dear Maria ❤
Did I read somewhere that Maria past on December 12th? If so I’m sorry to hear this. Thank you for bringing the world these wonderful women and men❤️
Such beautiful ladies. The food looks incredibly delicious 😋.
Ogni regione rende le lasagne diverse. La mia ricetta è una lasagna siciliana di Caltanissetta, molto diversa da questa. Nonna perfetta.
