Season well, add the basil, and simmer for 1 hour to slightly reduce. Meanwhile, make the white sauce by mixing the ingredients in a bowl with some black pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 200C. Spread ⅓ of the beef ragu over the base of a baking dish, then layer with 3 lasagne sheets. Add ⅓ of the white sauce, then a handful of grated mozzarella. Repeat to make 3 layers of each, finishing with the rest of the white sauce on top. Add more mozzarella to the top of the lasagna, then cover and bake for 45 mins. Reduce the temperature to 180C, uncover and bake for another 15 mins to get everything bubbling and golden.
