Lasagne Alla Camille

Makes One 9″x13″x3″ Deep Ceramic Pan

2 Boxes Barilla OvenReady Lasagne Sheets (You may not need two full boxes)
1 Recipe of the Ricotta Mixture
1 Recipe Bolognese Sauce
½ to 3/4 Recipe White Cheese Sauce

Constructing the Lasagne

Preheat Oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray a 9″x13″x3″ Deep Ceramic Pan with non-stick cooking spray (Pam is the best).

Spread a thin layer of Bolognese Sauce on the bottom of your prepared ceramic pan. Next place several lasagne noodles side by side to cover the bottom of the pan. Spread ¼ of the ricotta mixture on top of the noodles and a thin layer of Bolognese Sauce on top of that. Repeat layering ending up with 5 layers of noodles and 4 layers of ricotta/sauce. Top the 5th layer of noodles with a thin layer of Bolognese. Top that with the White Cheese Sauce spreading it evenly from end to end and side to side.

Cover loosely with a piece of foil that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray (Pam). You do not want the foil to touch the top of the Lasagne. Place the Lasagne on a sheet pan and bake in the preheated oven for 1½ hours until the Lasagne is cooked through and the top is slightly and lightly golden (see photo).

To test for doneness, insert a thin bladed knife into the center of the lasagne. After 30 seconds remove the knife and if it is really hot it is ready. Remove from the oven.

Let stand at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with some of the Bolognese Sauce spooned on to the bottom of the each individual plate.

Serve this with a salad and a bottle of Chianti Classico and you will be in heaven.
