MARIO BATALI’S LASAGNE ALLA BOLOGNESE AL FORNO PART 4- ASSEMBLING, BAKING AND EATING!!!

Well, I didn’t get home from work until 8pm tonight and by the time I assembled and baked the lasagna, it was 9:30pm by the time we ate.  We didn’t mind a bit.  It was so worth all the effort!  I think this was the best lasagna I’ve ever had.
Thank you Mario Batali and RouxBe.com!
To cook the pasta:
Boil in salted water for 2 minutes.
Transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Dry on a clean kitchen towel.
Assemble the lasagna:
Place a layer of pasta in the lasagna pan and layer with the béchamel sauce.
Add a layer of bolognese.
Then a layer of grated parmesan.
Repeat until the lasagna pan is full.  
Then bake at 375 F for 45 minutes.  Mmmm…by this time, it’s smelling really good!
ENJOY!!!
I had some leftover uncooked pasta, so I layered it with parchment paper and put it in a freezer bag to save for later.  I will definitely be making this recipe again!
