Bring the béchamel sauce back to the boil and check that the sauce has thickened.

You can pour some sauce onto a cold plate, wait a moment, and then swipe through with your finger.

If the space created in this way is retained, the sauce is sufficiently bound.

Optionally, dissolve the cornstarch again in a little cold water, bring the sauce to the boil, add the starch water and let it boil.

Check the binding of the sauce again.

As one of the few hot dishes, I always put lasagne on cold plates.

The casserole is always very hot and just pleasant to eat at the table.

3. Variants of Vegetable Lasagna

For my first cookbook I already made the vegetarian lasagne as a brisk version with little filling.

The quick pasta casserole is one of my favorite dishes.

Here in this recipe I have added the vegetarian variant for classic lasagne with vegetables and without meat or meat substitutes.

For variants you will find some ideas summarized below:

  1. You can buy ready-made bechamel sauce and save yourself the preparation of a sauce.
  2. You can find a detailed béchamel sauce recipe elsewhere.
  3. If your time frame allows, sauté the carrots longer for a better flavor.
  4. You can also add the garlic later, it should not be too roasted.
  5. You can add 1-2 finely diced onions to the vegetable bolognese.
  6. The vegetable bolognese goes well with red wine.
  7. Use little dry red wine to deglaze after sautéing the vegetable ingredients.
  8. Herb Tip: Instead of thyme, you can use oregano, marjoram or fresh lovage.
  9. Cheese Tip: You can also use Emmental, Gouda or a mountain cheese or Parmesan.
  10. As a cheese substitute for vegan fit grated almonds.
  11. For this, pour more béchamel sauce at the end and sprinkle the almond flour.

Can you think of another variant? Please leave me a comment at the bottom of the page. Thanks!
