- To get a perfect texture, salt the eggplant slices and let them sit for 15-20 minutes before cooking to draw out excess moisture.
- You can substitute lamb mince with beef or even a plant-based mince for a vegetarian version.
- Cook the pasta just until al dente, as it will continue to cook when baked with the other ingredients.
- For a thicker béchamel sauce, let it simmer a bit longer while continuously stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
- Grate fresh nutmeg into the béchamel sauce for a little extra flavor boost.
- Let the bake rest for about 10 minutes after taking it out of the oven to allow the layers to set for easier slicing.
