Layering the Lasagne
- 1Grease the baking dish completely with olive oil. Then evenly cover the bottom with a layer of Béchamel. Afterwards, cover everything with lasagne sheets and spread the Bolognese sauce on top. Layer the lasagne in this order until all ingredients are used up. Finish with the remaining Béchamel sauce.
- 2Then sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over it and bake in the preheated oven at 200 °C on the middle rack for about 30 to 40 minutes, until the cheese is golden and gratinated.
Tip
You'll achieve a particularly aromatic Bolognese sauce if you let it simmer for as long as possible. The longer the Bolognese simmers, the more flavor the spices can impart to the sauce.
