Let it cool down a little

Halve the dough.
Grate the half into 11x31cm cake tin with a grater
Spread the meat sauce over
Grate the other half of the dough on the top.
Bake it in preheated oven at 170° for 35-40 minutes.

I can't say that it is much similar to lasagna because it has a crumby dough and it is drier. In lasagna there is abundant mozzarella and bechamel that makes it smoother. Besides, I never buy or prepare lasagna because my brother in law has pasta fresca shop just 50meters from my home and they make the most delicious lasagna in the world! So I am lucky!  ;D

Grating in Thermomix?  ???
I didn't try because I didn't want to risk that it grates and then the crumbs stick back together. If the dough had warmed and softened, I would have had to put it back in the freezer to be able to grate it. So I simply used a traditional grater (My had 3 sides. I used the surface with bigger holes)

Well, given a second thought.... :-)) if the dough is cold enough, you may be able to grate it in Thermomix, not the whole dough maybe but divided in 4-5 parts piece by piece.
