Place the lasagne in a preheated oven at 200 degrees and bake for about 45 minutes until golden brown.

How do I prevent my lasagne from becoming watery?

A watery lasagne is often due to too wet sauce or undrained ingredients (such as spinach or ricotta). Make sure your sauce is well-cooked and not too thin. Drain ingredients with a lot of moisture, such as vegetables or ricotta, well first or fry them briefly. It also helps to let the lasagne rest for 10-15 minutes after baking before you cut it-so the layers can set properly and the dish stays firm.

Making baguette with granny meatballs in tomato sauce gratinated with cheese

For firm, perfectly round meatballs, a good balance is important. Use plenty of binder such as egg and breadcrumbs, and make sure the mixture is not too wet. Knead everything well until cohesive - but not too long, or the balls will become tough. Tip: let them rest in the fridge for a while before baking. This way they will keep their shape better and won't fall apart in the pan.
