- After it is thickened, keep the sauce aside.
- Prepare a pot with 1 liter boiling water - Cook the lasagna pasta to half cooked in order to ease the baking process later on. The cooked pasta has to be transferred to the cold water to stop the cooking process. Cook 3-4 pieces once in a pot to make us easier to remove the pasta out, because the pasta can stick each other.
- Lay the cooked pasta on the clean kitchen towel so it will not stick each other.

- Lower the heat, give the sauce taste with salt, pepper, chicken powder and nutmeg powder / grated nutmeg.
- Switch off the heat and keep it aside.
