Lasagna Bolognese


I've really been wanting to try this recipe for Lasagna Bolognese from smitten kitchen. It tastes amazing with the Bolognese sauce. It is a bit of a pain to make but I like it better than the traditional ground meat and ricotta/cottage cheese recipes. You will need to make the Bolognese and Béchamel sauces ahead of time. You can make the Bolognese well ahead of time, even freeze it, but the Béchamel I would make the same day. I am too lazy to make my own noodles. The boxed kind came out just fine.

Ingredients:
1 2/3 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1 box of lasagna noodles (I used barilla flat lasagna noodles)
4 c. Bolognese sauce
2 c. Béchamel sauce

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350. In a 9x13 pan, drizzle and spread 1/4 heaping c. Béchamel sauce, to prevent the noodles from sticking. Layer noodles in and top with 1 c. of Bolognese sauce. top this with 1/3 c. of Parmesan cheese, then top with 1/2 c. of Béchamel. Repeat this three more times. It will look like this:

1/4 c. Bechamel
Noodles
1. c. Bolognese sauce
1/3 c. Parmesan
1/2 c. Béchamel
Noodles
1. c. Bolognese sauce
1/3 c. Parmesan
1/2 c. Béchamel
Noodles
1. c. Bolognese sauce
1/3 c. Parmesan
1/2 c. Béchamel
Noodles
1. c. Bolognese sauce
1/3 c. Parmesan
1/2 c. Béchamel

Bake the thing for 30-45 minutes, I only did 35. Allow to set for 10 minutes before serving.
