- Make a bechamel by melting butter, whisking in flour, and slowly streaming in 4 cups of milk.
- Layer pasta, bolognese, bechamel, and parmigiano in a deep baking dish, repeating six times.
- Bake covered at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes, uncover for 15 more, then rest 20 minutes before slicing.
Cooks notes. Recipes are tested in a US home kitchen. Substitute lemon for lime if you must, but the result will read brighter. Salt to taste -- our quantities skew toward kosher.
