3 Variations on Lasagna

1. Grandma’s Lasagna

Although we tested three different Bolognese-style lasagnas with creamy béchamel sauce, we decided that the definitive lasagna had to have tomato sauce, chunks of meat, shredded mozzarella and creamy ricotta cheese.

2. Celery Root and Mushroom Lasagna

For this streamlined version of Fabio Trabocchi’s luxe lasagna in bianco (white lasagna), he layers flat noodles with a supremely rich sauce, along with a root-vegetable ragù, fresh mozzarella and whole basil leaves.

3. Lasagna-Style Baked Pennette with Meat Sauce

This hearty, meaty baked pasta is chef Tom Valenti’s ultimate make-ahead meal.
