- Spoon some of the bechamel sauce into the bottom of an oven dish (Just enough to stop the lasagne sheets from sticking to the bottom of the dish)
- Place a layer of lasagne sheets into the baking dish and cover with a layer of the filling mix. Repeat this a further two times finishing with a layer of lasagne sheets.
- Spoon the remaining bechamel sauce over the top layer of lasagne sheets and evenly cover with the reduced-fat grated cheddar cheese.
