What is the correct order to layer lasagne in?

[breatheslowly]

Please don't tell me there isn't a correct way - I need a definitive answer. I do meat, pasta, white sauce x 3 plus some cheese on the top. But I find putting the meat sauce onto the white sauce strangely disturbing (as it is lumpy so doesn't pour on).

Meat White sauce pasta repeat twice, then meat White sauce cheese. But you lot have convinced me to try the smear of White sauce and then pasta first next time, but then I shall continue to layer meat White. Sauce pasta after that!

I do pasta on the bottom cos then it's easier to get it out of the dish. Then meat, sauce, pasta, meat, sauce, pasta, meat, sauce, pasta and finish with cheese sauce with extra cheese on top.

so don't bother with making a white sauce, too much hassle and it doesn't need that much liquid in it with the sauce and spinach.

I spoon off some of the sauce from the meat and smear over the pan, then a layer of pasta, then some meat, then some more pasta, then a load of cheese sauce, then a layer of pasta, then more meat, then layer of pata then top with defrosted spinach cubes and the rest of the sauce then grated cheese.

My girlfriend's lasagna, who is from Torino, is minus the egg and puts meat as well as sauce and cheese on top. Either way its always good!! :o

Im having disagreement with other half on layers of lasagne he says white sauce on bottom then pasta then mince then pasta etc and then a layer of pasta on top with white sauce and cheese but I've always done white sauce on bottom then pasta then mince then white sauce then pasta etc x

Most of you are getting it wrong, but I'm sure it tastes amazing regardless.

You should lightly grease the oven dish, then start with sheets of lasagna (par boiled), followed by meat, then pour the bechamel over the meat, followed by some grated parmesan or whatever cheese you want like mozzarella.

Then repeat the process, pasta, meat, bechamel, cheese - make the layers thin-ish.

Depending on how many layers, finish it by either adding the sheets, followed by bechamel and grated cheese or just the sheets and cheese on top (i prefer bechamel on the top).

There, the perfect Lasagne!

@29653211a You're a legend and YES yours is the correct way! Who are these heathens omitting the base pasta layer?!
