Lasagne FAQs
How do you layer lasagne?
The secret to a perfect lasagne is getting the layering right. Start by spreading a layer of your ragù or meat alternative at the bottom of your dish, then add a single pasta sheet layer before adding white sauce (béchamel) and cheese on top. Continue layering in this order until the dish is full or your sauces run out.
How long does lasagne take to cook?
For a freshly-made lasagne alla bolognese, we usually recommend cooking in the oven for around four hours or until the beef is tender. Vegetarian lasagne often requires a shorter cooking time, so be sure to check the recipe instructions before cooking.
How do you make besciamella white sauce for lasagne?
To make besciamella, or béchamel sauce as it is more commonly known, melt 60g of butter in a saucepan and add 60g of plain flour. Whisk until combined and cook on low heat for 2 minutes. Then, gradually add 600ml of milk and stir until thickened. Season with salt, black pepper and nutmeg.
