Lasagna bolognese

One of the classic lasagna recipes, featuring carrots in the meat sauce. It's quite easy to make, especially if you use ready-made lasagna sheets, which are available in the cereal and pasta section of stores. The specified proportions are enough for 4 servings, but I always cook double the amount - our lasagna "flies away" instantly. It's a great dish for Sunday family dinners or small friends' meals. When hot, it is impossible to cut and serve it in even slices, it floats a bit, but when it cools down a bit, it cuts perfectly and evenly. The recipe is from the Italian cookbook "The Silver Spoon".

Salt the mixture, add the passata and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, then add the pepper. If you are replacing the passata with tomato paste, reduce the amount to 100g, and if you are replacing it with tomatoes in their own juice, peel the tomatoes from their skins and chop them with a blender along with the juice.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
Grease a heatproof rectangular shaped baking dish with butter.
Prepare the lasagna sheets using the method on the package. (In my case lasagna sheets do not need to be pre-boiled - they are put raw and cooked already in the oven).

Place the lasagna sheets on the bottom of the mold and spread some of the meat sauce on top.

Then pour the béchamel sauce over everything and sprinkle with grated parmesan and put butter pieces (I didn't add butter to reduce the calorie content of the finished dish).
