  • Bring the milk to a boil with some freshly ground white pepper, a pinch of salt, and 2 basil leaves. Lower the heat to the minimum. Dissolve 3 tablespoons of cornstarch in 1/3 cup of cold water. Add the mixture to the milk. Whisk for 5 minutes until the bechamel thickens, then add 2 tablespoons of grated Grana Padano cheese.
  • Butter a baking dish and place some torn basil leaves on the bottom. Marble the bechamel with a tablespoon of pesto. Spread a bit of pesto on the bottom of the pan, then cover with a layer of lasagna.
  • Add a layer of the bechamel, dollops of ricotta cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, some grated Grana Padano cheese, and a few drizzles of pesto.
