Most lasagne recpies ask for ragu and bechamel. Since I am cooking kosher, what can I substitute for ragu?

    It can be easier to modify or substitute the bechamel. Either make it with a nut milk, or use a veloute, or use something else entierly (although the ideas for "something else entirely" are frequently also milk based, like a mascarpone lasagna)

  • Just don't use the bechamel.

  • Probably better to focus on the ragu, since there are often other cheeses in a lasagna recipe.

You can either substitute the bechamel or the ragu:

Bechamel

Ragu

Both are listed as kosher.

I'd personally just go with a mushroom ragu.

You can find plenty of recipes online, such as from Serious Eats or the New York Times.

I can't remember if fish counts as "meat" for Kosher rules, so you may need to avoid recipes that call for fish sauce or Worcestershire sauce.
