Directions
Let's start cooking lasagna in a multicooker by finely chopping an onion and frying it in vegetable oil in the multicooker on the Fry mode.
Add minced meat to the onion and continue cooking, stirring occasionally with a spatula to break up any clumps. When the meat changes color, add the tomato paste, mix well, and cook for a few more minutes. The whole process will take about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and spices to taste. You can use a spice mix specifically for minced meat or dried basil, oregano. Transfer the meat to a plate.
In a clean bowl of a multi-cooker, add butter. Set the same mode. When the butter melts, add flour. Stir constantly with a spatula. Pour in a little milk, breaking up any clumps, then gradually pour in the remaining milk while continuing to stir the sauce.
For a spicy flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg and squeeze in a couple of cloves of garlic. When the sauce starts to thicken, turn off the multi-cooker and immediately transfer the sauce to a bowl, or it will continue to thicken.
Pour water into the bowl of the multi-cooker, and turn on the Steam mode. When the water boils, steam the lasagna sheets in batches, transferring the cooked ones to a plate. Do not overcook! The sheets should be soft and flexible, but not torn. Start assembling the lasagna. Place a sheet of foil in the multi-cooker dish to make it easier to remove the finished lasagna. Lightly coat it with sauce and place a sheet of pasta on top.
On top, spread a portion of the filling and smooth it out with a spoon.
Generously sprinkle with cheese, cover with another layer of dough, and repeat the layers. Spread the top layer of dough with the remaining béchamel sauce and sprinkle with cheese.
Fold the foil in such a way that it does not interfere with closing the lid, but does not touch the cheese, otherwise it will melt and stick to the foil. Cook the lasagna in the multi-cooker in the Baking mode for 45-50 minutes.
