Step 4: Rinse the pasta rounds under warm water and ease 4 of the larger pasta rounds into the holes of the pie maker and place 1 tablespoonful of the pork and veal mixture in each hole and top with 1 teaspoon bechamel sauce and then place four of the smaller pasta rounds on top then continue layering with another tablespoonful of the pork and veal mixture and 1 teaspoon of the bechamel sauce.

Step 5: Sprinkle each lasagne with 2 teaspoons of the cheese and top with 4 of the remaining larger rounds of pasta.

Step 6: Turn on the pie maker and close and cook for 5 minutes.

Step 7: Top each lasagne with a little extra cheese and 1 teaspoon of the reserved pasta sauce and cook for 3 minutes or until golden on top.
