Just wanna say that lasagna bechamel is what I crave for today! The cheesy, creamy goodness in between pasta sheets is always irresistible. It is just like a kind of warm and soothing hug in the food form.

Ingredients:

For the White Sauce (Béchamel):

For the Lasagna:
- 12 lasagna noodles, cooked
- 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes

- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)




Instructions:

Make the White Sauce (Béchamel)
1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add flour and whisk until it becomes a paste and starts to bubble (1-2 minutes).
3. Gradually pour in warmed milk, whisking constantly until smooth and thickened (8-10 minutes).
4. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Set aside.

Prepare the Meat Sauce:
1. Brown ground beef or sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add onion and garlic, sauté until softened.

2. Spread a layer of meat sauce in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
3. Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce.
4. Spoon Béchamel sauce over noodles, then add meat sauce.
5. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
6. Repeat layering until ingredients are used, finishing with sauce and cheese on top.

Bake the Lasagna:
1. Cover dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.
2. Remove foil and bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
3. Let lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
