French-Style Lasagna image

I learned how to make lasagna this way when I worked in France. What makes it French-style is the use of a bechamel (white sauce) instead of ricotta, and Swiss (traditionally Emmental) cheese. Full of great flavor! I always get compliments.

Time 1h14m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

9 lasagna noodles
1 pound ground beef
½ onion, diced
¼ cup diced green bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 ½ (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch herbes de Provence
garlic powder
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Spread 1/4 of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with 3 lasagna noodles. Spoon 1/3 of the beef mixture over the noodles. Spread 1/4 of the tomato sauce and 1/3 of the white sauce over the 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.
  • Repeat layers twice, starting with noodles and ending with cheeses.
  • Bake lasagna in the preheated oven until top is deeply browned, 30 to 45 minutes.

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but it was still good. The béchamel sauce was very creamy and flavorful, and the lasagna was well-cooked.

This lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. The béchamel sauce was a bit too thick and the lasagna was a bit dry. I would make it again, but I would make some changes to the recipe.

This lasagna was a disaster! The béchamel sauce was too thick and the lasagna was dry and overcooked. Will not be making this again.
