Instructions
  1. 1

    To prepare the microwave pesto lasagna, start by preparing the fresh pasta: on a pastry board, arrange the flour in a fountain, crack the eggs in the center, add a pinch of salt 1 and beat them quickly 2. Mix the mixture with a scraper 3.

  2. 2

    Then continue to work with your hands 4, until you get a smooth and homogeneous dough 5. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 15 minutes 6.

  3. 3

    Move on to the béchamel. Heat the milk in a saucepan, add the salt 7 and the nutmeg 8. In a saucepan, prepare the roux: melt the coarsely chopped butter, then add the flour 9.

  4. 4

    Stir over medium heat with a whisk to avoid the formation of lumps 10. When you have obtained a hazelnut-colored mixture, add a part of the hot milk to thin it 11, mix and pour it all into the remaining part of milk 12. Let it cook over low heat until you get a viscous sauce, then set aside.

  5. 5

    Finally, prepare the pesto: in a mixer, put the basil, then add the pine nuts 13, the Parmesan, the pecorino 14 and the garlic 15.

  6. 6

    Also add the ice 16, the oil 17 and season with salt. Blend intermittently, so as not to overheat the mixture, until you get a creamy consistency 18.

  7. 7

    Take the dough and divide it so that it is easier to handle. Roll out the dough with the help of a pasta machine 19, adjusting the thickness until you reach a thickness of 1-2 mm. Cut the sheets into rectangles of 15x10 cm 20, then blanch them in salted water 21.

  8. 8

    Arrange the sheets on a baking sheet, lightly greased, and let them cool 22. Assemble the lasagna, in a 25x25 cm pan, distributing a drizzle of oil and a ladle of béchamel on the bottom, then continue with the pesto 23 and add a little pepper 24.

  9. 9

    Place another layer of pasta sheets 25 and continue in the same way until you reach a total of 5 layers. Complete by sprinkling the surface with Parmesan 26. Cook in the microwave at 500 W for 10 minutes, then continue cooking for another 5 minutes in grill mode. The microwave pesto lasagna is ready 27!
