Tips

  • Toasting the flour in butter is very important for béchamel sauce.
  • Do not make the milk boil for the béchamel; it only needs to be warm.
  • Be patient when making the meat sauce as it needs to cook for hours.
  • Leave some angles of the lasagna uncovered to create crispy edges.
  • You can prepare the meat sauce during Christmas Eve to save time on Christmas day.
