Lasagna with béchamel sauce is a classic and indulgent Italian pasta dish known for its layers of tender pasta sheets, flavorful meat or vegetable filling, creamy béchamel sauce, and melted cheese. Here’s a description of lasagna with béchamel:

Ingredients:

Lasagna Sheets: Lasagna sheets are wide, flat pasta sheets that serve as the layers in the dish. They are often boiled until partially cooked before assembling the lasagna.
Meat or Vegetable Filling: The filling can vary and may include ground beef, Italian sausage, or a combination of vegetables such as mushrooms, spinach, and zucchini. The filling is typically cooked with onions, garlic, and tomato sauce, seasoned with herbs like basil and oregano, and sometimes enriched with red wine for depth of flavor.
Béchamel Sauce: Béchamel is a classic white sauce made from butter, flour, and milk. It’s enriched with grated Parmesan cheese and seasoned with salt, white pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. The béchamel sauce adds creaminess and a velvety texture to the lasagna.
Cheese: A blend of grated cheese, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta, is used to add richness and gooeyness to the layers of the lasagna.

Assembly:

Layering: The assembly of lasagna typically involves layering the ingredients. It starts with a thin layer of béchamel sauce at the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking. Then, a layer of partially cooked lasagna sheets is placed on top of the sauce.
Meat or Vegetable Filling: Next, a portion of the meat or vegetable filling is spread evenly over the pasta sheets.
Cheese: A mixture of grated cheeses is sprinkled over the filling.
Béchamel Sauce: Another layer of béchamel sauce is drizzled over the cheese.
Repeat: The layering process is repeated until the baking dish is filled, typically ending with a layer of cheese on top.

Baking: The assembled lasagna is baked in the oven until it becomes bubbly and golden brown on top, usually at around 375°F (190°C) for approximately 25-30 minutes. A brief broil at the end can add extra browning and crispiness to the cheese layer.

Serving: Lasagna with béchamel is usually served hot and can be accompanied by a side salad and garlic bread for a complete and satisfying meal. The creamy béchamel sauce, flavorful filling, and layers of cheese make it a comfort food favorite that’s perfect for family gatherings or special occasions.
