A creamy, elegant first course perfect for special occasions. This lasagna combines the delicate flavor of shrimp with the creaminess of an olive oil béchamel, enriched with a fragrant pistachio pesto.
Prepare the béchamel: In a saucepan, heat the oil and add the flour, stirring with a whisk to form a smooth roux. Pour in the warm milk, continuing to stir vigorously with the whisk to prevent lumps. Cook over medium-low heat until the béchamel thickens. Season with salt and nutmeg.
Add the pistachio pesto: Once ready, add about 8 generous spoonfuls of pistachio pesto to the still warm béchamel. Stir until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous cream with a delicate green color.
Cooking: Bake in a preheated static oven at 200°C for about 25 minutes, or until the surface is golden and the lasagna is well set.
Pour a first layer of pistachio béchamel on the bottom of the mold. Lay the first pasta sheet, then cover with more béchamel, a handful of shrimp, and a few thin slices of mozzarella. Continue with another layer of pasta and repeat.
On the last layer, distribute only the pistachio béchamel and finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 200°C for about 25 minutes, or until the surface is golden and the lasagna is well set.
