Instructions
- Make the Bolognese sauce: Preheat a pot on medium-high heat. Add olive oil, minced beef, and the oyster sauce. Cook the beef mince for 15 minutes. Break the meat apart while cooking. Add the sliced onion and finely minced garlic to the pot. Add the tomato passata and paste to the pan with the minced beef. Add the spices. Cook the Bolognese sauce for sixty minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Make the Béchamel: Melt butter in a small pan. Add flour and mix. Pour the milk in at a gradual rate. Add the spices and the cheeses. Mix well. Creating the béchamel sauce will take a few minutes to thicken up.
- First layer: Add Bolognese sauce and spread it out to cover the surface of the casserole. Then cover the sauce with the lasagne sheets. Minimize the overlapping of lasagne sheets so that they are cooked evenly.
- Second layer: Cover the lasagna sheets with bolognese sauce and add the béchamel sauce. Now, add lasagna sheets to cover the béchamel sauce.
- Third layer: Add the last batch of Bolognese sauce on the third layer of lasagna sheets and cover them with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Bake the lasagne: Bake the lasagne in the oven on 375’F or 190’C. The covered lasagne will be baked for 30 minutes, and then baked for 15 minutes uncovered.
