How to Layer Lasagna?
There need to be at least two layers of pasta to qualify as lasagna. You put a layer of sauce first, cover it with pasta, put bechamel sauce, sauce again, then top it with cheese. Repeat this process till you get the desired number of layers.
Ingredients
- 3 cups bolognese sauce
- 1 pack lasagna noodles
Bechamel sauce
- 4 tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ cup butter
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 2 cups milk
Instructions
- Take a large enough baking tray that has very high edges. Otherwise, the filling is just going to come out of the lasagna.
- The sauce needs to go down on the tray first, so that lasagna noodles won’t stick to the bottom of the pan and won’t be dry.
- Then you should place a layer of lasagna noodles or sheets on top of the sauce so that they cover the whole bottom of the pan.
- Spread the bechamel sauce on the lasagna noodles.
- Now, repeat these steps however many times you like until you get multiple layers of tomato sauce, pasta, and bechamel sauce
- Finally, when you reach the top layer, top off the whole thing with bechamel and grated cheese.
- Preheat oven to 392 °F and put lasagna to bake for about 40 minutes until crisp and golden brown at the top.
Bechamel sauce
- put the flour on the warm butter and stir constantly until you get the golden color. Add nutmeg and stir some more. Slowly pour in milk while continuously whisking the mixture. Cook the sauce until you get the semi-thick texture.
