Ingredients
- 1 lasagna noodles fresh or regular, 16-ounce package
- 6 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ cups milk warm, whole
- 1 bay leaf
- A pinch nutmeg freshly grated
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- 8 ounces gruyere cheese grated
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese grated
- 4 ounces Parmesan Cheese grated
- 4 ounces gorgonzola cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles until almost al dente (about 2 minutes less than what the package suggests). Drain and lay noodles on an oiled baking sheet. Reserve.
- To make the sauce: Heat the butter in a medium sauce pan, until melted. Add shallot and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add flour and stir or whisk quickly into the butter. Cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown - about 5 minutes. Slowly add the warm milk, loosening the roux while whisking constantly. Add bay leaf and nutmeg. Cook until starting to bubble and thicken. Remove bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and reserve.
- To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce in a greased 13x9 inch baking dish. Layer 4 to 5 noodles lengthwise side by side, with edges overlapping. Top with a layer of béchamel and a layer of each cheese. Repeat for 2 more layers: pasta, sauce, cheese. Top the last layer of pasta with a generous amount of sauce and then a layer of cheese. Cover with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove foil, increase temperature to 400 degrees F and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. You can also pop it under the broiler to speed up the browning. Remove from oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting. Garnish if parsley or basil, if desired.
- Serve! :)
