- Reserve a quarter of the bechamel sauce for the top layer.
- Layer lasagna as desired starting with pasta and alternating bolognese sauce, grated cheese and bechamel.

- This lasagna is the perfect balance of cream, cheese and meat. You'll need a pasta machine to make the pasta. It's a fairly involved recipe but the end result makes it all worthwhile. I think you'll agree.
