Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground lamb
• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 14 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 9 lasagna noodles
• 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 cups whole milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg, freshly grated
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground lamb and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, cinnamon, oregano, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

While the sauce is simmering, cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and lay them flat on a baking sheet to cool, preventing them from sticking.

Step 6

To make the béchamel sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste.

Step 7

Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to stir to prevent lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of the lamb mixture on the bottom.

Step 9

Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the lamb mixture. Spread one-third of the remaining lamb mixture over the noodles, followed by one-third of the crumbled feta. Repeat the layers twice more.

Step 10

Pour the béchamel sauce evenly over the top layer of the lasagna, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

Step 11

Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 12

Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Greek Lamb and Feta Lasagna!
