Add tomato sauce, salt and seasonings. I always use dry Italian herbs for lasagna. You can take any spices to your taste. Stir and simmer on low heat for about twenty minutes. Turn off the heat. Meat bolognese sauce is ready.

Step 6

Step 6
How to make bechamel sauce for lasagna? Melt the butter in a saucepan.

Step 7

Add flour and quickly fry the flour in butter. It is necessary to stir vigorously so that the flour does not burn. When a “velvet” coating appears at the bottom, pour in the milk.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour in the milk in a thin stream, stirring vigorously with a whisk until the flour mixture is well dissolved. When this happens, continue heating the sauce, stirring constantly, until thickened. It should almost boil and start to bubble.

Step 9

Turn off the heat, add salt to taste and add nutmeg. Mix well. Bechamel is ready. Let it cool a little.

Step 10

While our sauces are being prepared, we need to cook the pasta until half cooked. Boil water, add salt and add pasta and cook for half the time indicated on the package. Place the pasta in a colander and let the water drain.

Bechamel again on top.

Step 15

Step 15
Then spread the meat sauce evenly.

Step 16

Step 16
There is a layer of grated cheese on it.

Step 17

Step 17
Next, repeat the layers: pasta, bechamel, bolognese, cheese. I have a small mold, so I only got two layers, if you have more, repeat. There should always be meat sauce and cheese on top. Place the pan in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 30-40 minutes until the top is browned. Baking times and temperatures may vary; adjust them based on the operating characteristics of your oven. Place the lasagna on plates and serve.
