Saute the onion with the garlic until it is very cooked and releases a lot of juice
*I leave it in a covered pot with medium heat*
Chop the beetroot into pieces and add it to the pot, also add the cream. Stir a little so that they mix and permeate the flavors (put the pot away)
Take it off the heat and grind our mixture in the blender or in the Minipimer. Add salt and pepper to taste. Put it back in the pot and on the fire.
Add the cheese and once it is melted we add milk or water until it is not so thick.
*Cooking with milk makes the sauce not so liquid when you put it in the oven*
Finally, in our bowl we put a splash of olive oil, and we put a layer of our sauce (be careful to splash a lot, because since it has melted cheese there are a lot of fillets left, so the dish and the pot must be close) We put the lasagna and the sauce until the dish is full.
Bake for 15 or 20 at 180°
*I added a little more cheese to the lasagna before putting it in the oven*
Now enjoy!!
