White Sauce Lasagna

Tomato Sauce Layer

*If you have a jar or homemade tomato sauce you can use it in place of this.
6 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, minced or grated
1- 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
3 garlic cloves, minced
small can of tomato paste
6 cups diced tomatoes, pureed in blender
2 teaspoons oregano
2 bay leaves
season with salt and pepper

White Sauce Layer

3 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons flour
3- 1/2 Cup of milk
8 oz. or 2 Cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

You'll also need:
1 lb. oven ready lasagna noodles

White Lasagna Recipe Directions

To prepare the tomato sauce, add oil to a large skillet and saute onion, garlic and ground beef. Cook until beef is no longer pink, drain fat off and add back to heat. Add in tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, bay leaves and season with salt and pepper. Allow to simmer 15-20 minutes, while you are preparing the white sauce.

To prepare the white sauce, melt butter in saucepan. Whisk in flour to make a roux. Whisk in milk slowly and allow to boil and thicken several minutes. Continue to stir occasionally. After several minutes add cheese and stir until melted. Take off heat.

To assemble your white sauce lasagna,
Ladle 1/2 Cup or less of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread white sauce over the noodles. Continue layering tomato sauce, noodles and white sauce until the pan is full. Make sure your noodles at the top have a layer of liquid, either tomato or white sauce covering them.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until noodles are tender.

Freezing Lasagna

Whenever I make any of these best lasagna recipes, whether it is the white sauce lasagna or cottage cheese lasagna, I make an extra to freeze. Lasagna freezes nicely. They even sell freezer containers such as Glad ovenware, that can be placed right in the oven.

Wrap your prepared dish in tin foil or place a lid on the container. When ready to cook, unthaw overnight and bake. You can take the lasagna right out of the freezer and bake but keep in mind the cooking time will be 1-1/2 hours or more. Just check periodically and allow extra time if you prefer this method.

Lasagna Roll Ups

This is a fun way to change up your lasagna. Cook noodles and allow to cool. All you do differently from the recipe above is, instead of layering noodles and cheese, add a spoonful of cheese mixture on a cooked lasagna noodle and roll up. Place rolled noodle on spaghetti sauce and continue with rest of noodles and cheese. Top with spaghetti sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Bake as directed above.
