How to make lasagna with asparagus

3. Prepare the béchamel by melting the butter over low heat and adding the flour. When you have obtained the classic roux, dilute it with the milk and add the nutmeg without stopping to mix so that lumps do not form. After about 15 minutes it will have thickened properly but remember to always leave it a little more liquid than normal for this preparation.
4. Now you just have to go and compose the layers of the asparagus lasagnette: take a baking tray and put a first thin layer of bechamel, then a layer of puff pastry, then again the bechamel (this time a generous ladle will do well in order to cover the pasta), asparagus and grated cheese.
5. Make as many layers as you want and finish everything with grated cheese and flakes of butter , the tips of the vegetables and a generous sprinkling of grated cheese.
6. Bake at 180 ° C for a good half hour , checking the cooking and the gratin .
