Really needs a layer of the bechamel sauce over the top layer of pasta. The pasta on the top dries out otherwise, so would need too double up on the bechamel sauce ingredients. Apart from this everything else was ok. - 17 Feb 2013 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Made it with fresh lasagne sheets (used recipe from this site). I used 1.2kg minced meat and 800g passata, so ended up with 2 lasagne, each had 3 layers of lasagne sheets. I cooked Bolognese sause in multicooker (slow cook setting) 4 hours. My family loved it! - 07 Nov 2016 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
