  • Repeat
  • Spread remaining bechamel over lasagna sheets
  • Pour passata sauce over top of bechamel
  • Place 5 pieces of bocconcini down the centre of lasagna

  • With an hour remaining place extra mushrooms down the centre and cover with remaining bocconcini slices

Notes:

  • - Egg free, Gluten free, Lactose free and Soy free

    We use dry but you could use fresh if that’s what you prefer, cooking time may be less though with fresh
