- 3 Add the peeled and pureed tomatoes, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 4 To make besciamella sauce: melt the unsalted butter, add the flour and stir for 2 minutes, then gradually add the fresh milk, stirring until smooth and creamy.

Replace step 6: spray small trays with oil, bake lasagna in a 195-degree steam oven for 25 minutes, and rotate the tray after 13 minutes; the sauce surface browns about 15 minutes sooner, and large trays must be divided into batches.
