- Spread a layer of béchamel sauce over the pasta, followed by a layer of meat sauce.
- Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of béchamel sauce on top.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top layer.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and dill if desired. Enjoy!
