White lasagna is a variation of the classic Italian lasagna that uses a creamy white sauce instead of a traditional red sauce. This dish combines layers of tender pasta sheets, a rich and flavorful white sauce, creamy cheese fillings, and a variety of vegetables or meat. Whether you prefer a vegetarian lasagna or one filled with hearty sausage or chicken, white lasagna offers a delightful alternative to the traditional recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
- Cook shallots in butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes. Add flour and cook over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, 3 minutes. Add nutmeg, then slowly whisk in milk and stock. Bring to a boil, whisking, then simmer, stirring occasionally, just until sauce lightly coats back of spoon, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool to warm, stirring occasionally. Stir in eggs, Marsala, sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 cup cheese.
- Spread about 1 1/4 cups sauce over bottom of an 11- by 8-inch baking dish. Cover with a layer of 3 lasagne sheets. Repeat layering 3 more times, then top with remaining sauce and remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake, uncovered, until browned, 45 to 55 minutes.
RED, WHITE, AND GREEN LASAGNE
Steps:
- In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté bell peppers, stirring, until crisp-tender. In a bowl stir together bell peppers and ricotta, stirring until combined well. In a vegetable steamer set over simmering water steam broccoli, covered, until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes, and stir into ricotta mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Pour 1 cup tomato sauce into a baking dish, 13 by 9 by 2 inches (sauce will not cover bottom completely), and cover with 3 lasagne sheets, making sure they do not touch each other. Drop about 1 1/2 cups ricotta mixture by spoonfuls onto pasta and gently spread with back of a spoon. Sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella and 1/3 cup Parmesan over ricotta mixture and make 2 more layers in same manner, beginning and ending with pasta. Spread remaining cup tomato sauce over pasta, making sure pasta is completely covered, and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cover dish tightly with foil, tenting slightly to prevent foil from touching top layer, and bake in middle of oven 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake lasagne 10 minutes more, or until top is bubbling. Let lasagne stand 5 minutes before serving.
NO WHITE-SAUCE LASAGNA/LASAGNE
When it comes to making white-sauce I am a failure. I came up with this recipe out of a dire need to make a truly scrummy lasagne without using white sauce. It does take some time to make the meat sauce but it is worth it! Serve with garlic bread and salad - yummy! I live in the Netherlands where there is a minced meat mixture called 'half-om-half' which includes pork and beef. I usually use this rather than just beef but have no idea what the proportions of each are in it. If you mix it yourself please post your proportions so I can try it too!

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan.
- Add the chopped shallots and crushed garlic, heat until the shallot is soft.
- Add the minced meat, stir thoroughly.
- Add the milk to the meat, cook the meat until it is brown all over.
- Add all the tomatoes and sugar, stir well.
- Add the herbs.
- Add some of the red wine and worcestershire sauce, stir.
- Add the mushrooms (if using), stir.
- Simmer on a low heat and let the liquid reduce.
- When the liquid has reduced add more worcestershire sauce and red wine. Simmer.
- Repeat this stirring, adding liquid, simmering and reduction process for at least two hours. The meat should end up very glossy and gloopy. It almost looks like it is one large blob rather than minced meat.
- Meanwhile, mix the grated parmesan and pepper into the creme fraiche, leave aside.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- When the meat is ready add a thin layer to cover the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Add lasagne sheets, then a thicker layer of meat. Repeat - I always end up with three layers of lasagne sheets.
- On the final layer of lasgne sheets spread the creme fraiche mixture.
- Cover the creme fraiche mixture with the grated cheddar.
- Bake in the oven until golden (30-45 minutes).

WHITE LASAGNE
This recipe uses chicken instead of the beef and alfredo sauce instead of the typical red sauce. The cheese lover that I am created this recipe for a pot luck. It was a hit, and has been ever since! I have never seen or tasted a recipe like it, and I have been told it is restaurant quality.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese, and vegetables will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overcook the lasagna. The noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked lasagna will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set. Waiting at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving will give you the best results.
- Serve lasagna with a side of garlic bread or salad. This will help to round out the meal and make it more satisfying.
