Step 11
Boil the 16 pasta sheets as per packet instructions and drain and set aside to cool - do this in batches so they don’t all stick together
Pot
lasagna16 sheets
Step 12
Cut the spring roll dough into 16 even pieces and roll into a 6 inch by 6 inch square
Knife
Step 13
Lay a couple of tablespoons of the Bolognese on a pasta sheet leaving a couple of cm on the long edges and over an inch on one end of the pasta and a cm on the other short edge
Step 14
Lay a tablespoon of the cheese sauce on top of the beef mix and spread out and sprinkle some extra grated cheese
Step 15
Roll up lengthways from the side of the pasta with the cm gap, and the filling will naturally be pushed across to the other end as you roll. Try and squeeze out as much air as possible. The filling will also get pushed to the side
Step 16
Repeat with all the other pasta sheets and set all the rolls aside. The 1 inch pasta lip should help seal it all in
Step 17
Lay a pasta roll on the spring roll wrapper and brush the sides with egg

Step 18
