Method
Step 1
Here are four easy steps for the perfect open lasagne bolognese:
Step 2
Sauté the celery, onion, and carrot in a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil and the bay leaf. Once they have turned golden brown, add the lentils and cook over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the red wine, cook until the wine evaporates completely, then lower the heat and add the tomato paste. Add 2 cups of water (or enough water to cover the meat mixture) and cook slowly over low heat for at least 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.

Step 3
Meanwhile prepare the béchamel: melt the margarine in a heavy-bottomed pan. To make a roux, add the flour and whisk margarine and flour together for 3-4 minutes over low heat, until smooth. Heat the milk in a separate pan, then add it to the roux, pouring it in a slow stream. Adjust the salt, season with a bit of nutmeg, and continue cooking, whisking constantly to avoid the formation of lumps, until the sauce is thick and creamy. If the béchamel is too thick, add a bit of milk. If it is too thin, let it cook for a few additional minutes. Heat the oven to 220°C.

Step 4
Grease up a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and arrange the first layer of Lasagne lengthwise. Evenly spread a layer of sauce over it, followed by the béchamel and a generous handful of grated nutritional yeast. Continue to layer the Lasagne, sauce, béchamel, and nutritional yeast until you have used the rest of the ingredients. Finish with the béchamel and a generous dusting of nutritional yeast.
