Steps

Lasagna Casserole with Bronte Pistachio

Make the pistachio pesto: in a powerful blender, put the pistachios, oil, parsley, grated Parmigiano, and a pinch of pepper. Blend until you get a very creamy pesto. Set aside in the fridge and proceed with the béchamel sauce.
Prepare the béchamel sauce following my recipe click here.
As soon as the béchamel has cooled down, divide it in half, add one part to the pistachio pesto, mix, and set aside.
Now chop the smoked provola cheese, cut the mortadella into small squares.
Pistachio pesto
Place the Parmigiano Reggiano, pistachios, parsley, and pepper in the bowl, chop: 10 sec./speed 10. Gather with the spatula.
Add the extra virgin olive oil and blend: 10 sec./speed 4. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Wash and dry the bowl and prepare the béchamel, following my recipe click here.
Wash the bowl, dry it, place the provola pieces, close with the measuring cup, and chop 10 sec speed 8. Gather with the spatula and set aside.
Do the same with the mortadella and set aside.
We have everything ready, and all that’s left is to assemble the Lasagna Casserole with Bronte Pistachio. In a baking pan, put a ladle of béchamel, then make a layer of lasagna, add some pistachio béchamel, some provola, and mortadella, and a sprinkle of pistachio crumbs,
continue this way until all ingredients are used. Finish with more provola, pistachio crumbs, and a sprinkle of Parmigiano.
Cover the baking pan with a sheet of parchment paper and then a sheet of foil, so the lasagna cooks evenly without drying out. Bake at 356°F for 20 minutes, then uncover the casserole, turn on the grill, and cook for a few minutes at maximum power to create the crust on top.
The Lasagna Casserole with Bronte Pistachio is ready to be served. Enjoy your meal.
