Lasagna alla Bolognese is the most famous lasagna in Italy, but it’s not the only one! In the south, particularly in its mother city of Naples, Lasagna alla Napoletana reigns supreme. I’ve been begging Eva for a while to revisit this recipe for a couple of reasons: first, because I think it deserves a dedicated video; and second, because it’s been a looooong time since I’ve had one and I’m dying to try it again…

This video is brought to you by seed visit the link in the description and use promo code pasta grammar 25 to get 25% off seed’s ds01 daily symbiotic today is a very special day why because Ava is making lasagna Neapolitan style lasagna to be specific lasagna ala nap lasagna ala

Napolitana I’m terrible at saying that now she’s made that lasagna on the channel before in this video where in one day she made the two major kinds of lasagna in Italy lasagna alaban which is kind of the original it’s the OG it’s the lasagna in the broader Italian

Cuisine and then the Neapolitan style lasagna the southern style lasagna I’ve been begging her for a while to revisit that recipe for a couple of reasons one is that I think it deserves a dedicated video also uh in America and other places where a lot lot of Southern

Italian immigrants ended up it’s this style of lasagna that actually became kind of popular so it’s probably more familiar to a lot of you out there as lasagna although trust me the the real deal is like taking it up to 11 the other reason is entirely personal which

Is that despite the fact that AA made lasagna alolan a for me many many times it’s one of my favorite things that she cooks I’ve actually never had lasagna alen Lana since that first video I remember it being good but I don’t like remember it you know what I mean and I I

Want to I want to try it again it’s been a While is more stuff than a normal bolog lasag so I have to prepare something and I’m going to start with making some uh small meatballs the meatballs this time will be 100% pork meat Bowls because lasp requires a lot of pork meat I’m making my normal meat bowls which use ground

Pork meat some fresh bread crumb black pepper salt parsley peino cheese Pano cheese and an Egg our meatball this time will be very small because they goes into the lasagna so we can’t make huge meatball in the true napolitan style we are going to fry Them here start here start the smell of the fried meat Bowl Mommy okay so the meatballs are done what’s next sausage when you buy sausages for your Italian recipes it’s very important that you choose a sausage that hasn’t a lot of uh spices or flavor inside I think that usually in Italy we flavor our SAA just with black pepper

Salt sometimes you can find fenel sometimes no so try to find a mild Italian sausage that doesn’t taste too much garlic too much onion or something strange it’s not really important how you cook the sausage this time because they should just be cooked so I’m going

To to cook them in a pan but you can also bake them while the sausage are cooking I’m going to hard boil some eggs because in every traditional napalan Las there are hard board eggs involved do you do you want to tell the story of the first uh

Neapolitan lasagna that you made on the channel yes I made the the the lasagna the only things that Harper had to make at that time was to have boil the egg what happens it happens that in know to which I peed the eggs they were completely row inside you had one job to

Do and we didn’t have any other eggs at so I had to make a napolitan lasagna without eggs and you can’t imagine how many people wrote to me where are the eggs where are the eggs where are theegg still get comments I was fired as AA Sue

Chef that day but now I’m taking care the Eggs napolitans love their cheese which means that we are going to use at least the four basic Italian cheese let’s call that way which means mozzarella ricot parano Pino and I’m going to mix the ricotta with Pino some basil some black pepper and I’m adding a little bit of

Our precious sauce now if you didn’t catch last week’s video you should go check it out I’ll put a link down below because in that video Ava made the Ragu Alo apana which is one of the most important ingredients that goes into a lasagna alapana and that’s its all its

Own whole thing that can be used with pasta and all kinds of stuff so go check that out why do you do this to me Billa are you feeling okay I’m feeling okay this is the only lasna that I found here so I have to feel okay it’s my

First choice when I’m in Italy no it’s my only choice here yes at first night thep lasna could seem a little bit more complicated than a bolog lasagna but actually is uh quicker to make because while the lasagna requires egg fresh pasta that you need to make by

Yourself the napolitan one use the pre-made lasagna that you buy in a store so you will skip all the preparation of the pasta that believe me is not uh few minutes of work it’s half of days AA they give a a recipe on the back of the

Box I know this is what I’m reading prep time 20 minutes easy easy have you met my friend Ragu even though I wish this were not the case lasagna alaana is not the kind of food that you should eat every day there is something we take every day though and

Description below and use promo code pastagram 25 that’ll give you 25% off your purchase of ds01 a big thank you to seed for sponsoring today’s video now on the box there is written 8 min minutes 9 minutes but I’m going to cook it for 6 minutes and I’m

Going to cook it in two batches because I don’t have a big pot to cook all in once now I’m draining draining the take off the pasta from the water that is boiling and I’m adding a little bit of olive oil because I don’t want the pasta S I guess it’s that time huh and now we can put together all the elements of our l we start from a little bit of Sauce the napolitan lasagna should look like a box of pasta which means that we need to do something like that now the order of the ingredients let’s be honest doesn’t really matter so you can justo to put before the rotta before the sauce the bags the meat whatever you want

Personally I start start with maybe a little bit of sauce I changed my Mind we cut the meat Bowl in Al and we spread them around same thing with some pieces of sausage Then some mozzarella now the rules of every stuffed pasta and most for the napolitan lasagna is what you put inside you will find in your PL if you want to find more put more if you want to find less put it less but keep always in mind that it’s a

Napolitan Las so less is less when it comes to Neapolitan food see it’s like more is never too much eggs and this time I’m going to put eggs in my napolitan lasagna because I cook the eggs now I’m going to spread some rotta p

As much as you want as much as you like or as much as you have in your Fridge and now we start over Again when you have a small space like this what you do you take one lasna you actually measure and then you Can and we start again with our how do you say building I can tell it won’t be a tragedy if one of these is missing maybe also if two of these were missing which okay And now we close it It’s obvious that we don’t leave this white we need to do the last cover of the surface we do with r and last but not least the the Pary down and now we are ready to go in the oven usually for the first part of the

Cooking I cover it with aluminum foil my lasagna is a little bit taller and I don’t want that the aluminum foil touch my lasagna what I do is fix some what do you call toothpicks This I will bake it at 415 f for about 30 minutes then after 30 minutes I will take the aluminium foil out and I will keep cooking at the same temperature until the top is brown crispy it looks like uh you like it that smell is bringing back some good

Memories I know so hit me with the bad news how long do we need to wait to cut into this at least 10 minutes oh it’s not as bad as I thought 15 is Better oh this is the worst me because I know I’m going to destroy it there’s no good way to do the first lasagna Slice want to try a different direction I’m trying to not just I don’t want to destroy it I would actually flip it around and go this way like this yeah but here flip the dish Around wow W good job you see it’s actually been a really long time since we’ve sat here with our friends with a a piece of lasagna than one year maybe longer it’s not that is one year that we are not eating a lasagna well like I said before

Like you you’ve made lasagna alaban for me so many times and I’m so used to you making that this is really I haven’t had this since that very first lasagna video because this is something that you really deserve you really to work to have a surprise very special occasion well shall

We we want just to watch it watching it’s not bad it’s a thing of beauty it’s a waterful of amazing thing I’m so excited okay yeah this SM this smells really good It’s so funny too because this is the style of lasagna that became popular in the in the US here because we have much more many more Southern Italian immigrants than Northern Italian immigrants the American lasagna is much more along these lines but this is like just that taken to a whole other level

The depth of flavor the amount of flavor everything is extra I know it seems strange but when you taste it doesn’t seem as heavy as it is in reality it has a very delicate flavor and this is my first time having it with eggs because I

Ruined the eggs the last time and it’s very good with eggs so the eggs Works inside yes it’s an excellent addition actually I think that oh man people are probably going to get mad at me for this is going to get mad at me for this I

Think that lasagna Alan I mean it’s amazing do not want anyone to get me wrong when it’s well done yes when it’s well done when it’s well done of course the same with this you didn’t have to grow up with the watery blend lasagna

That I had to and it was made like the the probably what’s on the back of the Barilla box you know just like some wet marinara sauce and the layers of pasta and then just like a few Splats of rata I used to not like lasagna until I met

You I think that the lasagna alolan is probably more of a crowd pleaser at least maybe from an American perspective because I’m like I’m used to lasagna that have similar ingredients and a similar makeup to this so if you’ve never had a lasagna Al banazi with the fresh egg pasta and the bashel

It’s like really kind of mind-blowing this is more like uh like uh what do you how do you how do you describe it the lasag bologan punches you in the face with how delicious it is this is like oo oh oh o o and kind of okay let’s say

That is for everyone this is just for bong this is not for everyone this is for people who like to eat we hope you guys enjoyed this in-depth look at lasagna ala napolitana I am very glad we read visited this and uh if you’ve never made it before definitely check out the

Recipe which will be down in the description below not to take anything away from the incredible lasagna laan of course such as this incredible one made by pasta Garian sha that looks very good in fact looking at that now I’m like I’m like H maybe we should make both again and compare them

  1. We're curious about the spread of lasagna throughout the world. Where are you from and which version of lasagna are you most familiar with?

  2. ❤❤❤ I love that you share recipes from all over Italy.. my bisnonna came from Peaio, in Vodo di Cadore, in Belluno, Veneto. She was Ladin. Do you know any recipes from that region?

  3. This is what happens when I stay up past my bedtime… I HAVE to watch a pasta grammar lasagna video. Can't wait.

  4. Lasagna ❤
    Called it. Yes!!! :). This new version looks incredible. The old recipe looked complicated/expensive
    Is the longer old version still going to be available if ever going hardcore?

    Also you mentioned a lasagna before that combined the north and south versions. Is it on your site?

  5. I am from Alberta, Canada and my ex-husband’s family is Calabrian…a traditional Ragu Napoletana and Dry Pasta style sauce is the VERY first thing my Mother In Law taught me how to make. To this day my lasagna is used as a bargaining tool 😂 and as a professional Chef THANK you for all of the amazing culinary education you two Love Birds share…

  6. Question me and my mother (who's Italian) never boil the sheets just put in raw , they are always fine fine but is there a reason to boil?

  7. Da piccolo in FVG (anni 50), dove vivevo, in vari collegi per 15 anni, mi è stata instillata diffidenza verso certe preparazioni della carne di maiale. Io mai farei polpette con essa, nè cotolette impanate e, sebbene a me piaccia la carne cruda (bovina), così com'è o poco cotta, quella di maiale assolutamente non la mangerei. Sarà una fissazione? Complimenti per i 3 cento mila ma soprattutto al contenuto del vostro programma.

  8. My mom never put eggs in her lasagna still it was the best I’ve ever had. And I make it the same as mom. ❤

  9. OMG that looks like heaven…. DIBS on leftovers?!?!?!?!? When I go out for Italian food my favorite dish to get is baked ziti…. Is that a thing in Italy or just an American thing and can you guys do a version of it????

  10. Ava – I know Barilla is not the best choice but we also have the barilla no-boil barilla lagagna pasta at the grocery here. (huge neoplitian/american population here in CT) Your thoughts on using the no-boil lasagna sheets? Grazie

  11. A good trick to help with sticking with Aluminum Foil is to put a sheet of Parchment Paper first and then put the foil over it. It wont stick at all.
    I have been doing that for a while now and its tried and true without having to use all the toothpicks.

  12. Hello Eva and Harper from PA. I have a tip to save you time and toothpicks. Use a piece of parchment paper under your aluminum foil. Just cut it to fit the top of the lasagna so that the foil will fold easily over the sides of the pan. I do this for many foods that I cover with aluminum foil and bake. 😊
