The BEST Lasagna Bolognese! Layers of flat lasagna noodles baked with alternating layers of slow-cooked Bolognese sauce, bechamel, and Parmesan cheese. A lasagna is only as good as its bolognese. So this lasagna is AMAZING! The slow simmer is crucial and develops all of the flavors. Your patience will be rewarded. This homemade version of the Italian classic tastes as though it's been perfected over generations.
