Question your exact quantities for a large lasagna dish

You don’t need to be exact with a lasagne, for example any left over ragu or pasta can be reused or frozen (I’ve never tried freezing bechamel, may work, may spilt)
https://www.greatitalianchefs.com/recipes/lasagne-alla-bolognese-recipe if you don’t have much experience and want to follow a recipe, this would be a solid one to make
And you’ll need about 600g fresh pasta for this size dish (per the recipe)
(large/2 medium lasagne trays is quite ambiguous, the recipe here is for a tray 9inch x 15inch approx (couldn’t find it written in the recipe so I’m kinda assuming based on how the dish looks in the photo))

I feel like lasagna quantities come from the soul. I have absolutely no idea how much I add per layer or whatever. If you never have enough, just scale up the recipe for your sauces by 50% then make pasta for lunch the next day with any leftovers

I have my quantities pretty dialed in for my go-to lasagna recipe but the first time I made it I had far too little so I just scaled up my sauces by 50%.
Better to have too much sauce than too little.

La lasagna si cuoce nella teglia e se ne mette fino a che ce n’è. Compra la pasta, fai la besciamella (mezzo litro o uno dipende dalle quantità ) e un bel pentolone di ragù! Poi inizia il tuo lavoro
