Tips

Good meat
Depending on where you live, supermarkets offer a meat counter very correct. Rather than taking ground meat already packaged, ask the butcher to make you from a real piece of meat, you're sure (e) to have a fresh product.

Cut an onion without crying
Cut the ends of the onion and soak it in a container of water. Peel the onion under water. Take it out of the water, cut it in half and immerse briefly (2 sec) 2 pieces in water. Now you can chop your two pieces of onion without shedding a tear (you do not need to rush you but do not put 3h either).

Mounting lasagna
Why not end with the preparation walnut-almond?
Because the oven will roast nuts and give them a stronger flavor that will take too much.
The interest of the walnut-almond preparation is to have a texture that is similar to the bechamel. The taste of nuts should be minimal, and for that they must remain inside the flat.
