Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your lasagna the best flavor. If possible, use fresh herbs, vegetables, and cheeses.
Don't overcook the pasta: The pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the lasagna.
Make sure the sauce is thick: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta and vegetables. If it's too thin, it will make the lasagna watery.
Layer the lasagna properly: Start with a layer of sauce, then a layer of pasta, then a layer of cheese, and so on. Repeat this process until all of the ingredients have been used.
Bake the lasagna until it's bubbly and golden brown: The lasagna should be baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown. This will take about 30-40 minutes.

Conclusion:

Italian white lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken or vegetables, and it's also a perfect meal for a special occasion.
