Beef Lasagna Step-By-Step Pics

beef lasagna
Lasagna is a traditional Italian dish of pasta sheets, layered with bolognaise sauce and topped with béchamel sauce and grated cheese. The bolognaise should be a little wetter for lasagna than spaghetti bolognaise, as the pasta sheets need to soak up some of the liquid to cook.
Variations on this dish include vegetarian lasagna, featuring various coloured layers of pumpkin, tomato, mushrooms and spinach, and my signature dish, seafood lasagna. Both of these variations will also be featured on this site shortly.

pasta &sauce
Method
Spoon out enough bolognaise to cover the base of a deep baking dish to a depth of 75mm or so.
Some plain crushed tomato may be substituted for the bottom layer but always start with a layer of sauce, not pasta..
Overlap a layer of pasta sheets. Dried pasta sheets do not need to be pre-cooked and they can be snapped to fit.
finish with pasta
Place another layer of bolognaise.
Repeat the process with pasta and sauce until you have four or five layers finishing with a layer of pasta.
Leave about three or four centimeters at the top.
spread bechamel
Spread the béchamel sauce over the top layer of pasta to a depth of one or two centimetres.
Sprinkle a layer of grated cheese on top.
Bake in a moderate oven for approximately half an hour.
