Critical Success Points

  • Cook potatoes al dente (step 2)
  • Evaporate water from zucchini and aromatics (step 3)
  • Fully cook the meat without excess liquid (step 4)
  • Achieve a smooth, well‑thickened béchamel (step 5)
  • Final oven bake to obtain a golden crust (step 7)

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid splatters.
  • The béchamel is very hot: avoid burns while whisking.
  • Use kitchen gloves or mitts when handling the hot dish out of the oven.
