Lasagna, made with a meat sauce, mozzarella, parmesan and a creamy white sauce.

Hello again everyone, I am Rosemary from An Italian in my kitchen. For my last post I would love to share the Italian classic, La Lasagna!

Lasagna, four layers with a delicious meat sauce filled with a creamy, cheesy filling. So what are you waiting for? Buon Appetito!
I have eaten Lasagna more ways than I can count on one hand, white Lasagna, veggie lasagna and the classic just to name a few.

Apparently the traditional Lasagna is made of layering flat noodles with a meat sauce with a bechamel sauce and Parmigiano-Reggiano as added ingredients. The dish that I first ate is that is common in the Region where I live (Lazio) is made with a meat sauce, mozzarella, parmesan and a creamy white sauce.

I know most of you will ask no ricotta or hard boiled eggs? I’m afraid you will have to go a little more South to find that Lasagna. But believe me you will not be disappointed in this Lasagna recipe. I made four layers with a delicious meat sauce filled with a creamy, cheesy filling. So what are you waiting for? Buon Appetito!

    You didn’t give the meat ingredients in the lasagna recipe. No mention of the meat in the sauce.

      Hi Kathy – sorry for the delay! I checked and the recipe should list 1/2 pound of ground beef. Thank you for pointing that out, I am updating the recipe card now.
