Mastering Homemade Lasagne: Knorr's Guide to Perfect Ragu & Béchamel

Learn how to make the best homemade lasagne with Knorr's easy tips, focusing on a rich, fresh ragu and a creamy béchamel sauce. This guide covers assembling layers of pasta, sauce, and cheese, and baking to perfection for a comforting classic meal.

Creating a truly exceptional homemade lasagne hinges on two key components: a flavourful, fresh ragu and a luxuriously creamy béchamel sauce. This guide from Knorr will equip you with easy tips to master this beloved comfort food classic. 

The secret to an outstanding lasagne lies in preparing your ragu and white sauce (béchamel) from scratch. For the ragu, consider making it up to two days in advance; this allows the rich flavours to mature and intensify beautifully. 

To prepare a delicious ragu, sauté minced beef with finely chopped onions and garlic, then add chopped tomatoes and a Knorr Beef Stock Pot for an authentic depth of flavour. Once cooked, store the ragu in the refrigerator and reheat it thoroughly before assembling your lasagne.
