🍝 FAMOUS NEW YORK CITY LASAGNA — Recreated by Summer’s Homemade Meals

“They said the best lasagna was in New York City… so I brought it home.”
Rich, creamy, and baked with pure attitude — this isn’t just lasagna, it’s a statement. 😏
Patient, cheesy, and unforgettable — just how it should be.

⸻

🥩 MEAT SAUCE

3–5 lbs ground beef
1 large can pasta sauce

Brown your beef till golden.
Add the sauce, let it simmer, and keep it warm while we move on.

⸻

🧈 BÉCHAMEL (aka Bashmal)

½ cup butter · ½ cup flour
2 cups milk · 1 cup heavy cream
1 cup mixed white cheese · 1 cup ricotta

Melt butter, whisk in flour — we’re making a roux (good luck spelling it 😅).
Add milk and cream till it thickens, then stir in your cheeses.
Finish with a little ricotta your mama won’t notice.

⸻

🍲 LAYER IT UP

Lasagna sheets · Meat sauce · Bashmal · Cheese
Repeat till your patience runs dry (mine stopped at 5 layers).

Cover with plastic then foil.
Bake at 400°F for 1 hour until fully cooked.

⸻

🧊 THE OVERNIGHT TRICK

Cool completely or refrigerate overnight till firm.
That’s the secret to those perfect slices.

⸻

🔥 FINAL BAKE

Slice, top with marinara, heavy cream, parmesan, and a touch of green 🌿
Bake again at 400°F for 20 minutes.

Behind the scenes? My kids microwave it and say it’s even better —
but you didn’t hear that from me. 😏

Inspired by a restaurant in New York known for their lasagna, I had to recreate this unbelievable deliciousness. But this one, she’s patient. We start at least the day before. Brown up the ground beef. Be generous. Then hit it with your favorite marinara sauce. Or better yet, call Nona. Keep it hot while we get bougie with the bashal. Melt your butter. Whisk in the flour. Yeah, we’re making a r. Good luck spelling it. Add milk, heavy cream. And I’m one of them risk-taking hijabis. Putting myself on the line for those of you who think otherwise. I threw in that parmesan cheese, aiago, and a little proolone. And just a dollop of ricotta. Only my mama will notice. Start with that mina olive oil. You know if you went this far, you better go with the good stuff. Layer till your patients run dry. Cover it tight with plastic, then aluminum foil. Don’t worry, that plastic won’t melt. and bake for about an hour at 400 degrees. I know you guys are panicking about that plastic. Don’t worry about it. Refrigerate overnight till it becomes solid. Then slice sauce, cream, cheese, something green, so you could tell your doctor you tried. Back into the oven for about 20 minutes. And behind the scenes, my kids microwaved it. And somehow it’s even better. But I didn’t tell you that. You didn’t hear that from me cuz I’m over here still getting beef for using aluminum pans and old. And bam, baby, that’s
