Boil the lasagna for about 10 minutes. Strain and add some olive oil.

Grease the bottom of a glass baking pan with butter. Add a layer of Lasagna, then a layer of meat sauce. The last layer must be Lasagna. Pour the béchamel on top and add the remaining traditional MEVGAL Kasseri cheese as a final touch.
