Lasagne alla Bolognese
So, what can you do with a Bolognese sauce? Very simple, a lasagne. And, by making your bolognese sauce,
Béchamel and tomato sauce in advance, this cuts down the cooking and preparation time.
1. Take a deep baking dish. Oil it with a bit of olive oil to prevent the pasta from
sticking. 2. Place two of the pasta sheets, or enough
to cover, on the bottom of the dish. 3. Pour a layer of Bolognese sauce – 2 ladle-fulls
– and spread to cover. Be generous! Top tip – prepare the Bolognese the day before
as it will help the flavours to mature. 4. Spoon the béchamel onto the bolognese
layer and distribute evenly. 5. Continue to build up the layers – pasta,
Bolognese, béchamel sauce and so
on until you have the required depth for your dish.
6. On the top layer, I like to use the Bolognese sauce with a layer of tomato sauce for extra
richness, the béchamel and then top with parmesan cheese.
7. Pop in the oven for 25-35 minutes. Lasagne al forno!
