Ragù alla Bolognese and Béchamel… two of Italy's most important sauces… and the essential foundation of an authentic lasagna!
In Lasagna alla Bolognese: Layer by Layer, gather round in L'OCA Labs for a demonstration led by Chef Fabricio, where you'll learn the essential step-by-step techniques to build a traditional and deeply flavourful Bolognese, from sofrito to slow simmering, and how to create a smooth, velvety Béchamel with perfect consistency.
Once we’ve mastered these two sauces are mastered, it's all about seasoning, layering order, and how to create a balanced sauce-to-pasta ratio so your lasagna cooks evenly and stays creamy.
Following the demonstration, it is your turn! Each guest will assemble their own personal lasagna using fresh lasagna sheets, house-made Ragù alla Bolognese, Béchamel, and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
While your lasagnas bake, Chef Fabricio will share some make-ahead tips, how to best freeze, and how to reheat your lasagna. Then, you’ll dig into your freshly baked lasagna, served alongside a seasonal green salad.
What’s included
Everyone will leave with detailed recipes and the confidence to recreate a restaurant-quality lasagna at home.
