Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 180° Fan or 200° Conventional.
2 Making the béchamel – In a saucepan melt the Butter.

Once the butter is foamy stir in the Flour to make a roux.

Cook the flour out about 2 mins.

Whisk in the Milk slowly, making sure it is smooth. The warm milk helps it
incorporate better.
3 Add a sprinkle of Cheese; I’d say a child’s handful. You’re looking for the
suggestion of Cheese rather than strong Cheese Sauce. You can do this set
without the hob on the heat from the sauce will melt the Cheese easily.
4 Let’s build in an oven safe dish put a layer
of Ragu.https://www.cubbinthekitchen.com/beef-ragu/

On top of this goes sheets of Lasagne Pasta, I fill in gaps by breaking up a
sheet and making a Lasagne jigsaw.

Next spread the Béchamel on top of the Pasta.
5 Repeat these layers to create your lasagne, how many layers you have will be
dictated by not only your own wishes but also the size and depth of the dish you
are using. One I use gives me two layers of each so ragu, pasta, sauce, ragu,
pasta, sauce. This is a good amount but if your hungry push for more layers.
6 On top you have finished by spreading béchamel on pasta, then cover with grated
cheese.
7 Put the dish on a baking tray, in case of over spill, and bake in the oven for
45 mins until the top is crisp and the ragu is bubbling.
