French-Style Lasagna

Servings:

I learned how to make French-style lasagna when I worked in France. It features bechamel (white sauce) instead of ricotta, and Swiss cheese. Full of great flavor — I always get compliments!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. 3 Combine ground beef, onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until beef is no longer pink, 5 to 8 minutes.
  4. 4 Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in flour; cook for 1 minute. Pour in milk and heavy cream. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  5. 5 Spread 1/4 of tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with 3 lasagna noodles. Spoon 1/3 of the beef mixture over noodles. Spread 1/4 of tomato sauce and 1/3 of white sauce over beef mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence, and garlic powder on top. Cover with 1/3 of the Swiss cheese and mozzarella cheese.
  6. 6 Repeat layers twice, starting with noodles and ending with cheeses.
  7. 7 Bake lasagna in the preheated oven until top is deeply browned, 30 to 45 minutes.
