Ready bake dry lasagna doesn’t always cook all the way through when you’re dealing with a less wet sauce like bolognese. It gives the cooking process a little head start and creates a far more consistent bite after baking. Plus, you don’t have to worry about it later when you’re busy dealing with the béchamel.Īlso, just before you assemble the layers, soak the pasta in hot water for 10 minutes. That way the thyme and seasonings have a chance to incorporate the cheese. Things of note – We like to prep the ricotta first. Jane even likes to watch movies in the kitchen during the process so she can stick around to stir here and there. It takes some time, as most versions do, but they are well worth it in the end.

After dinner on Sunday, we have lunch for the first couple days of the work week. As an even greater bonus, it’s the perfect dish for leftovers as well. Especially on a Sunday, when we have the time to spend all afternoon prepping the sauce which not only fills the dish but each room of our house as well. It’s always one of the first dishes we make whenever the seasons start to get a little colder at night. Who isn’t, right? There’s nothing better than opening a warm oven and pulling out that baking dish filled with bubbling layers of cheese, pasta, and bolognese sauce.
