Lasagna is a classic Italian dish that is loved by people all over the world. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, but the most common version is made with layers of pasta, cheese, and sauce. The traditional sauce for lasagna is a red sauce made with tomatoes, but there are also many variations on the classic recipe, including white sauce lasagna.
White sauce lasagna is made with a creamy sauce made from a roux, milk, and cheese. This sauce is then layered with pasta, cheese, and vegetables, and baked until it is bubbly and golden brown. The result is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a family meal or a special occasion.
The article "White Sauce Lasagna" provides two recipes for this classic dish. The first recipe is for a traditional white sauce lasagna, made with a roux, milk, and cheese. The second recipe is for a vegetarian white sauce lasagna, which is made with a variety of vegetables in addition to the cheese and sauce. Both recipes are easy to follow and result in a delicious and satisfying dish.

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).

TURKEY AND MUSHROOM LASAGNA WITH WHITE SAUCE
Steps:
- directions Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the turkey and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up the turkey with the back of a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Let cool slightly. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. To prepare the sauce, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. To assemble, spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in the baking dish. Arrange one-third of the lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spoon half of the turkey mixture over noodles; top with half of the cheese and one-third of the sauce. Repeat layering once with the lasagna noodles, turkey mixture, cheese and sauce. Top with the remaining lasagna noodles and the remaining sauce. Place the parsley leaves, if using, randomly on top of the sauce. Bake, loosely covered with a tent of foil, 35 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the mixture is bubbly around the edges and the topping is lightly browned, about 15 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
