Do you put a layer of meat first or a layer of pasta? I've seen both mentioned in different recipes but wondered what peoples personal preference was!

LASAGNE - MAKE SAUCE AS U WOULD FOR CHILI - IN LASAGNA DISH, SPOON A COVERING OF THE SAUCE, SO IT WILL NOT STICK TO THE DISH - LASAGNA IS PASTA THAT IS STICKY WHEN WET - SO THE TOMATO PASTE(CHILI) WILL PREVENT STICKING - THEN LAYER THE PASTA-LASAGNA - WITH THE SAUCE - WHEN IT REACHES DESIRED SIZE, USING THE PASTA AND SAUCE, COVER ENTIRE CONTENTS WITH GRATED CHEESE, AND BAKE UNTIL BUBBLY

You have to put a layer of meat sauce at the bottom of the dish first. Otherwise the pasta will stick to the bottom of it.

At school I was taught/told to put a layer of meat, layer of pasta, layer of cheese sause. And repeating this until the meat and cheese sauce runs out.
My Mum was taught at school to do the same thing as well.

I always put a layer of meat first so that bottom sheet of pasta goes as soft as the rest.

Put the layer of meat 1st,then the sauce and then the pasta.The top layer is to be of meat,sauce and cheese.but put the cheese aft the pasta is cooked,i prefer the cheese to b light brown n stretchy rather than dark brown n stiff.All the best with your cooking.

I always put a layer of sauce down first,next pasta and then cheese.Sauce prevents pasta from adhering to bottom of pan and pasta holds the cheese better.

Meat first, then a layer of pasta sheets, then white sauce, then more pasta sheets. Repeat as necessary.
