  • layersome more of the lasage pasta sheets
  • continue until you reach the top of the tray making sure to finish with the cheese sauce at top
  • cover the top of lasage with greated cheese and some parmasen cheese
cooking lasagne
depending on if you have done one lareg or 2 small lasagnes i usually cook until it looks l=nice and golden on the top finishing off under the griller for a nice grilled cheese affect on top .

turn if you do not have an forced oven half way
wait for it to cool a little before serving
