@our_cookingjourney: If you love pesto and you love lasagne…you’ll love my Lasagne alla Portofino! 🌱 This recipe comes from Liguria in the north of Italy (the home of pesto Genovese!) and is made up of layers of pasta, homemade basil pesto and a creamy béchamel sauce. Then it’s topped with extra cheese so that it forms a beautiful golden crust in the oven. Fresh basil pesto should never be cooked to preserve the freshness and aroma of the basil but this recipe is the one exception. Baking it together with the béchamel and pasta creates a delicious combination but in a way that still preserves the essence of the basil, resulting in a rich and flavourful dish. Here are the ingrediente 👇 Or you can find the full written reicpe on my website.
