Preparation

1. Put the béchamel and the artichoke cream in a bowl, add half a glass of hot water and mix everything well.
2. Pour the rocket sauce into another bowl.
3. In a baking dish (25x15 cm) spread the bottom with 4 spoonfuls of béchamel sauce, then proceed as for normal lasagna, alternating a layer of pasta, artichoke béchamel sauce, rocket sauce and a sprinkling of cheese.
4. Repeat the operation for 4 layers
5. Bake at 200° without ventilation for 20 minutes, turning the pan after 10 minutes
6. Raise the oven temperature to maximum and cook for another 5 minutes or so until a golden crust has formed on the surface.
7. Let the lasagna rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Suggestions

I. If you do not have a baking dish of the indicated dimensions, you will have to adapt the doses to your baking dish, increasing or decreasing the layers.
II. If you are not an expert, consider that you need to divide the sauce into as many parts as there are layers of pasta.
III. I used approximately 7 tablespoons of bechamel sauce and 5/6 tablespoons of sauce.
IV. Remember to put cheese on each layer, and add a little more on the last one.
V. If you like, you can add a pinch of pepper and nutmeg to the béchamel sauce
VI. At each state, invert the pasta in the direction of the dough (horizontally or vertically)
VII. To cut the sheets of pasta, place them on a cutting board and press firmly with a large knife.
VIII. You can use pre-cooked or fresh frozen pasta, but remember that it absorbs less liquid than dried pasta.
IX. This dish is delicious and does not require the addition of fat.
X. You can use a ready-made “light” béchamel sauce with a long shelf life that you can easily find at the supermarket
