The secret to making the perfect Italian treat is to make sure every layer is structurally sound.

Basically, you need to ensure you have all three elements prepared and in front of you before you start.

This involves a Bolognese sauce, some béchamel and those all important pasta sheets.

According to Delicious, the first thing you need to do is put an even layer of Bolognese sauce at the base of a dish that's safe to use in the oven.

Next – simply place a single layer of the pasta sheets on top.

When you do this make sure the pasta doesn't overlap, and you may have to break some of the pasta into smaller pieces to make sure everything fits nice and neatly.

Then the next step is to add a layer of the white sauce, and you repeat these steps until you run out of sauces.

To ensure you have a crispy top you need to sprinkle some grated cheese on top before you pop it into the oven.

Experts say a mixture of parmesan and cheddar usually works best for a tasty crunch.

The key to ensure the dish stays in tact – and doesn't get messy – is to be cautious with how much you allow for each layer.

If you're too generous you could end up with a bit of a sloppy mess rather than a nice chunky slice of cheesy goodness.

And – let's be honest – pasta is tough enough to eat without making things more difficult.

Rid the changes of sloppiness and stains be taking care with your layers.
