Lasagna alla Siciliana

INGREDIENTS (for 8 people):
1 / 2 Onion
200 g of Minced meat of veal
200 g of Peas
1,5 L of Tomato sauce
4 Round Eggplants
200 g of Sweet Pecorino cheese
200 g of ham
150 g of Parmesan
4 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil for fry the eggplants

INGREDIENTS FOR LASAGNA PASTA
400 g of Flour
4 Eggs
Salt

PREPARATION TIME: 1 hour

COOKING TIME: 30 minutes

WINE: Santa Margherita di Belice bianco Doc (White Wine)

PREPARATION
Start with the preparation of the lasagna pasta: put in a bowl the flour, a pinch of salt and the eggs.


Mix all the ingredients and knead the dough until it becomes homogeneous. Let the dough stand for about 20 – 30 minutes so it becomes more soft. After this time start to roll out the dough, you can do this with the help of a rolling pin or more easily with the help of a pasta machine. Here I use the pasta machine.


Start roll out the dough from the biggest thickness of the machine then little by little reduce it until you obtain a pastry of about 2 – 3 mm of thickness.


Cut the pastry in rectangular pieces with about dimension of 15 cm x 10 cm.

Now start with the preparation of the sauce for lasagna: preheat the extra virgin olive oil in a pan, cut the onion in slices and let them cook for 3 – 5 minutes in the hot oil to make it tasteful.

When the onion becomes golden remove it from the oil and add the minced meat of veal. Let it cook for 5 - 8 minutes until it becomes slightly golden,then add fresh peas and continue the cooking for other 5 – 8 minutes.

Now add the tomato sauce and let the all sauce cook for about 30 – 40 minutes.


In the meantime prepare the other ingredients: eggplants, ham and cheese.
Cut the eggplants in slices and fry them in hot extra virgin olive oil until they become slightly golden.


When they are cooked put them in a dish covered with kitchen paper in order to remove the excess of oil.
Cut the ham in slices and the cheese in small cubes.
Now you can prepare the lasagna: cover the bottom of a rectangular baking pan with the sauce of meat and peas, put over it lasagna, pour on it the sauce, make a layer with the fried eggplants, another with the slices of ham and the cubes of cheese and sprinkle with some parmesan, re-put another layer of lasagna pasta and continue in this way until the pan in full.

Bake at 180°C and cook for about 30 minutes until the surface becomes golden.
Serve hot.
This is the result:
