Instructions
Filling
  1. Cut the asparagus…
  2. … and the onion.
  3. Heat a little extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan, then add the onion and cook at low heat (it must not to fry!).
  4. When the onion has become translucent, add the asparagus and pour a bit of water. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the asparagus are softened. If necessary, add more water. When cooked, sprinkle with a little of crushed black pepper and remove from heat.
Bechamel
  1. Prepare the ingredients for the bechamel (butter, milk and flour or starch).
  2. Put them together in a large pot over medium heat. The butter goes first, and must be cooked on its own until it melts (it must not fry), then the flour (or the starch) must be added and mixed with the butter until it forms a creamy sauce. Finally add some salt and the milk, slowly, stirring well with a whisk.
  3. Continue stirring until you get a smooth mixture. It is important to make a soft bechamel in order to facilitate an optimal cooking of the lasagna in the oven. When it’s ready, turn off and remove from heat.

  3. Sprinkle with a new layer of sauce.

  6. Repeat until reaching a total of 3-4 layers.
  7. Sprinkle the last layer with plenty of bechamel and a little of filling in order to obtain a homogeneous and soft layer.
