How to layer a lasagne…

The trick to creating a structurally sound bake is all in the layering. This is a time when you need to be organised, so make sure you have all three elements of the lasagne laid out in front of you before you start:

The bolognese sauce.

The béchamel sauce.

The pasta sheets.

First, spread an even layer of bolognese sauce over the base of an oven-proof dish.
Then, place a single layer of pasta sheets on top. You may need to break up some of the sheets into smaller pieces to ensure they fit.
Next, spread over a layer of the white sauce (or béchamel) and repeat the process until both sauces are used up.
Finish with a layer of bolognese or white sauce – whichever you have left – and sprinkle with cheese (we like parmesan and cheddar).

Tip: take care not to be too generous with each layer of sauce, or you’ll end up with a sloppy mess when you try to serve it.

Tip: want a really rich bolognese sauce? You could try Felicity Cloake’s bolognese version, which contains chicken livers.
