Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F.

Step 6
Spoon a little bit of bechamel sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.

Build a total of five layers using three sheets of Barilla Oven-Ready Lasagne pasta and ¼ of the sauce mixture for each layer, ending with the sauce on the top layer.
Step 8

Step 9
Allow the lasagna to rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Oven-Ready Lasagne
Unlike the thicker wavy pasta sheets commonly used in North America, Oven-Ready Lasagne pasta sheets are rolled flat like homemade. It’s lasagna the authentic Italian way! These thin flat pasta sheets require no boiling, meaning they are ready to be layered and baked, saving time and effort. Since one box makes approximately 12 servings of lasagna, delivering a melt-in-your-mouth texture, it’s perfect for sharing with loved ones when hosting or making part of your meal prep routine.
