Classic Bechamel Lasagne
Fancy a dish that’s like a warm hug from your Italian grandma but with a twist that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance? Our Classic Bechamel Lasagne is here to save your dinner plans with its creamy, cheesy, and utterly irresistible layers. Let’s dive into this carb-loaded love story, shall we?
Ingredients
- 9 lasagne noodles (the kind that doesn’t need pre-cooking, because who has time for that?)
- 2 cups of whole milk (the creamier, the dreamier)
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter (rich and golden)
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour (for that perfect roux)
- 1/2 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg (a whisper of warmth)
- 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese (because more cheese is always the answer)
- 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (the salty, tangy cherry on top)
- 1 pound of ground beef (lean and mean)
- 1 jar (24 oz) of marinara sauce (homestyle with a kick)
- Salt to taste (but let’s be honest, you’ll taste as you go)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), because it’s showtime for that lasagne.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it’s just beginning to bubble, then whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a smooth roux. Cook for 2 minutes to lose that raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the whole milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Stir in the freshly grated nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until no pink remains, about 8 minutes. Drain the fat, then stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for 5 minutes to marry the flavors.
- Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with 3 lasagne noodles, then 1/3 of the bechamel sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan. Repeat the layers twice more, finishing with a generous topping of cheeses.
- Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing—patience is a virtue, especially with lasagne.
Kick back and marvel at your creation: layers of tender pasta, rich meat sauce, and velvety bechamel that meld into pure comfort. Serve with a crisp salad to pretend you’re being healthy, or go all in with garlic bread for the ultimate indulgence.

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), because it’s showtime for that lasagne.
- In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce to prevent the noodles from sticking. Pro tip: This also adds an extra layer of flavor.
- Layer lasagne noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping for full coverage.
- Spread half of the roasted butternut squash and kale over the noodles, then drizzle with 1/2 cup of béchamel sauce and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese.
- Repeat the layers: noodles, the remaining squash and kale, another 1/2 cup of béchamel, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan.
- Top with a final layer of noodles, the remaining béchamel sauce, and the rest of the Parmesan cheese. Insider tip: For a golden crust, let the top layer peek out a bit.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 20 minutes until bubbly and golden. Watch for that perfect crust!
- Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This patience-testing step ensures neat layers.
Creamy, crunchy, and with a sweet note from the squash, this lasagne is a texture lover’s dream. Serve it with a side of sarcasm for those who doubted veggies could steal the show.

This lobster and tarragon white sauce lasagne is the culinary equivalent of a standing ovation, blending the ocean’s bounty with the earthy charm of fresh herbs in a symphony of flavors that’ll have your taste buds singing.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh lobster meat, tender and sweet, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 12 lasagne noodles, wide and ridged for maximum sauce adherence
- 4 cups whole milk, creamy and rich
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, velvety and golden

- 1/2 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated for a warm, aromatic touch
- Salt, to season
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it’s perfectly heated for even cooking.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil and cook the lasagne noodles for 8 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean towel to prevent sticking.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it’s just beginning to foam, then whisk in the flour to create a smooth roux. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add the whole milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped tarragon, nutmeg, and half of the Parmesan cheese into the white sauce, seasoning with salt to taste. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
- Layer the lasagne noodles, lobster meat, and white sauce in a baking dish, repeating until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of sauce on top.
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top layer for a golden, crispy crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned on top.
- Let the lasagne rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
Serve this decadent lasagne with a crisp green salad to cut through the richness, or go all out with a glass of chilled Chardonnay. The layers of tender lobster, aromatic tarragon, and creamy white sauce create a dish that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious, making it perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself to a gourmet meal at home.

- Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour, stirring constantly to create a roux that’s smooth and blonde, about 2 minutes (no lumps allowed).
