Critical Success Points

  • Properly browning the meat for maximum flavor.
  • Simmering the bolognese sauce long enough to develop depth.
  • Making a smooth, lump-free béchamel.
  • Layering so all pasta is covered with sauce.
  • Gratinating the top without burning.

Safety Warnings

  • Use caution when browning meat and simmering sauces; hot oil and steam can cause burns.
  • Careful when broiling/gratinating to avoid burns from the oven.
  • Egg yolk must be mixed quickly into hot béchamel to avoid scrambling.
