Butter the dish. Spread two tablespoons of meat sauce over the bottom of the dish, then arrange a layer of lasagne sheets, followed by meat sauce, bechamel sauce, chopped cheese and a sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese.
Continue adding layers in this way until you have finished nearly all the ingredients.
Finally, cover generously with bechamel sauce, a good sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese and a few knobs of butter.
Select “CASSEROLE” from the “RECIPES” menu then the “LASAGNE” recipe and confirm.
TIPS AND VARIATIONS • If you are making fish or vegetable lasagne, you can use vegetable stock instead of milk and olive oil instead of butter for the bechamel sauce.
