This lasagna has a few steps, but it is worth doing. The ingredients actually fed my family of 4 with leftovers for another meal. This recipe is suitable to freeze.
Although in this recipe I did not put any extra vegies, I have made it adding carrots, celery, zucchini, mushrooms basically any vegies you can think of! Just add them to the sauce or even grill/sauté and add them on top of the lasagna sheets.
Ingredients (serves 4)
- FOR THE PASTA
- 600 grams lasagne sheets (made with the Phillips Pasta and Noodle Maker)

Method

- BECHAMEL SAUCE
- Melt the butter in a pot. As it melts add the flour and stir it in well so that the butter absorbs all the flour.

- Par cook the lasagna sheets in boiling salty water for about 5 minutes. Drain well before you assemble the lasagna.
- Assemble the lasagna. In an oven proof tray put a heaped spoonful of the Bolognese sauce on the bottom, make sure it covers the base of the tray. Cover with the lasagna sheets. Add more of the meat sauce, followed by grated tasty cheese and then the béchamel sauce. Repeat all of these layers. Cover with baking paper and the foil over the top.
