  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 100g plain flour
  • ¾ nutmeg, grated
  • 1l whole milk
  • 400g fresh lasagne sheets
  • 2 (275g) pots Pasta Evangelists Wild Mushroom Sauce

Method

6 steps
  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan/ gas 6. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat then whisk in the flour and grated nutmeg and cook for 1 min, until smelling toasty.

  2. Step 2

    Gradually add the milk, whisking until smooth between each addition. Once all all the milk has been whisked in, bring to a simmer and cook for 3 mins until slightly thickened.

  3. Step 3

    Ladle a thin layer of the bechamel sauce over the base of a medium-sized baking dish, top with a layer of lasagne sheets – don’t worry about overlapping sheets here.

  4. Step 4

    Pour over a layer of Wild Mushroom Sauce, top with a little more bechamel and a sprinkling of cheese.

  5. Step 5

    Repeat these steps (pasta, mushroom sauce, bechamel and cheese) until all the sauce, mixture and pasta are used up. Aim for around 5 layers of pasta, and don’t forget to top with a generous amount of cheese.

  6. Step 6

    Cook the lasagne for 25-30 mins, the lasagne should be bubbling on the top slightly and look beautifully golden.
