1 recipe Bolognese Sauce
1 Recipe Béchamel Sauce
1 packet dried lasagne sheets
1 ball Mozzarella cheese(optional)
Grated Parmesan cheese
- Heat water in a large frying pan
- When boiling lower the heat a little
- Into the water put enough pasta sheets to form a layer in the dish (but no more as they may fuse into a solid lump!)
- When malleable (soft and bendy) take them out and put another layer in (Heating the pasta in water just makes it easier to manipulate and cut if necessary)
- In a large, flat ovenproof dish put a thin layer of Bolognese Sauce (remember this is a pasta dish, not a meat dish)
- Add a layer of the pasta
- Put another layer of Bolognese Sauce topped with more pasta, continuing to put more pasta in the hot water as each layer is used up.
- When the dish is full or all the Bolognese Sauce and/or pasta are used up, put a final layer of pasta
- Optionally daub little chunks of mozzarella over the top (makes a nice, stringy layer)
- Pour on the hot Béchamel sauce and spread it over the pasta/mozzarella.
- Grate Parmesan over the top
- Put it in the oven pre-heated to 200°C for about 20-25 minutes till the top is golden and stating to crust.
- Serve hot
