6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flour
5 cups milk

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Saute until onion is translucent and celery starts to soften.
Add other veggies, one by one, stirring before adding the next.
Cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring once.
Uncover and cook til vegetables are tender, stirring often, about 10 minutes longer.
Season with salt and pepper.
Melt butter in large sauce pan over medium heat.
Whisk in flour.
Whisk 2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in milk.
Cook until mixture comes to a boil, whisking often.
Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
Spoon 1 cup of sauce over bottom of your lasagna pan.

Spoon 1 1/2 cups sauce over veggies.
Sprinkle 1/3 of your cheese over sauce.
Repeat each layer once.

Bake Lasagna uncovered on center rack until sauce is bubbling, about 40 minutes, 55 minutes if previously chilled.
Remove from oven and allow to stand for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your lasagna will taste.
Don't overcook the lasagna: The lasagna should be cooked until the noodles are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
Let the lasagna rest before serving: This will help the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice.
Serve the lasagna with a side of marinara sauce or pesto: This will add extra flavor and moisture to the lasagna.
