5 layers and the secret ingredient is chorizo. You have not been charge for this nugget of information.

Ah, that traditional Italian ingredient.

Controversial PASTA - PASTA option there! and I am never sure about Bechamel in the lower layers... seems rather unnecessary and makes it all a bit sloppy.

Very much this. In fact, I would use NO bechamel. "Creamy" seems to be the magic word that sells pasta dishes to the English. I'm not sure how that started, but it ain't the way that any Italians that I know cook their pasta dishes. A good sprinkling of parmesan on multiple layers of alternating pasta and meat sauce will do for me. Aim for a total depth of about two inches.

2, if the bechamel sauce is included as part of the filling - ie one layer of tomato sauce plus one layer of pasta plus one layer of bechamel equals one 'layer'. Mine is made with vegemince - I'd use pork or beef mince but half the people in the house wouldn't eat it
