I am with you KW. Dry lasagna is not to my taste. I love sauce (tomato gravy).

There is no liquid in the lasagna, it’s too dry.

  • 200 g pre-cooked lasagne sheets

    • 70 g grated parmesan
    • 1 recipe for Bolognese sauce (from Videojug)
    • 380 ml milk
    • 45 g butter
    • 3 tbsp flour
    • 1 pinch nutmeg
    • salt and pepper
    • 1 baking dish
    • 2 saucepans
    • 2 spoons
    • 1 wooden spoon
    • 1 whisk
    • 1 tea towel
    • 1 tray
    • 1 bowl

    1. Step 2: Prepare the lasagne

      Preheat the oven to 200ºC, that’s 400ºF or gas mark 6. Put the sheets of pasta into a large bowl and cover them with warm water. Make sure they’re all submerged. Leave them to soak for 5 to 10 minutes.

    2. Step 3: Warm the milk

      To begin making the béchamel sauce, pour the milk into a small saucepan and let it heat until warm, not boiling.

    3. Step 4: Make the béchamel sauce

      Place the other saucepan over a medium heat and add the butter. When it has melted, add the flour and mix well until smooth. Just before it starts to turn brown, slowly add the milk. Using the whisk, stir continuously until the sauce begins to thicken.

    When thick, season with salt and pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Then give it one further whisk and remove from the heat.

    1. Step 5: Dry the lasagne

      Remove the lasagne sheets one by one from the water and place them onto a tea towel. Then turn them over to pat them dry on both sides. You may need to do this in batches to finish drying all of the lasagne.

    2. Step 6: Make the lasagne

      Start by layering lasagne sheets on the bottom of the baking dish. Next, cover with half of the Bolognese. Then spoon over some béchamel sauce, and finally, sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

    Now repeat the process: the lasagne, followed by the rest of the Bolognese, then the béchamel sauce and finally the parmesan cheese giving it a generous topping.

    1. Step 7: Cook the lasagne

      Place the baking dish in the centre of the oven. Cook for about 20 minutes.

    2. Step 8: Serve

      When the parmesan has turned golden brown, remove the lasagne from the oven and allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving. Lasagne is delicious served alone or it can be accompanied by a freshly made green salad.

The recipe of lasagna is different on almost every site and video available on the internet. Some are using white sauce and some are going with other types of sauce. I personally like white sauce with some pepper flavor and smell in it.

The recipe you listed is perfect and it is the same method I use to make lasagna.

a vegetarian lasagna is cool as well: use baby spinich (blanched) a tomatoe sauce with as many vegs as possible (tomatoes oinion garlic grated carrot grated zuchini even greated pumpkin) layer with lasagna pasta and white sauce and cheeze on top Can be low fat to make a healthier lasagna

Joy Behar’s lasagna recipe on the View web site is a winner. I make it without meat and it is great.

Interesting subject! I cooked two different lasagna recipes for a big get-together over the weekend. Since I had read the first several posts on this thread I kept track of which lasagna recipe was favored.

Surprisingly, there was quite a bit of the “saucier” lasagna left over. The “sauceless” lasagna was a big hit. Everyone kept raving about that one, and begged for the recipe and wanted leftovers to take home.

I had guessed that most people would like the one with more sauce…I will know which one to make next time!

Really great, thanks!

I make lasagna by the “old school” method. I don’t use pre-cooked noodles in the dish, however I do cook the noodles ahead as I also do with the sauce. I could take short cuts but don’t & it’s loved by all, recipe is also asked for over & over but I (selfish me) won’t often share. It is saucy when it comes from the oven but by the time salads are finished the sauce has soaked into it & is easily cut & served. I do reserve some extra sauce for anyone that might want extra. But that’s the way we like it.

I've yet to meat a lasagna that I haven't liked!
