This fruit arrangement was made by my friend at her daughter's bithday party.
Just add the fruit onto skewers and make an arrangement. Do not use bananas or apples, they get brown very quickly.

Lasagna al forno
Today is Sunday and I have decided to make some lasagna ...
I already had some ragù ... from the day before ...
But I had to make the - "Besciamella".

To make the besciamella I used:

Some flour, about half a litre of milk, two glasses of water, some melting cheese and a cube of bouillon.

I usually put some flour into a big glass and slowly pour over some milk. ( a bit at the time)
I mix the flour and milk, very carefully, until I get a smooth cream ...
At this point, I put everything into a pan, and added some more milk and water ...

I cooked over a low heat, until it got sort of thick ...
When the sauce was ready I added some cheese ... Cooked for another 3/4 minutes, until the cheese was completely melted ...

First I put some ragù in the bottom, and then I lay the lasagna ...
After I spread some besciamella, and lay other lasagna ...
again ... some more ragù ...
I covered the last layer with besciamella and parmesan cheese ...

I put it in preheated oven (200 C) for about 25 minutes.

It was delicious ...
