Homemade Lasagna

 

I don't think I ever got a chance to share this recipe with you guys, 

But this has got to be one of the best Lasagna I've ever had.

We make it more than I can count.

It's definitely a process but its worth it.

LASAGNA

Ingredients  

• Lasagna noodles
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
• 3 garlic cloves ( minced )
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1½ cups shredded parmesan cheese(divided)
• 10 ounces frozen spinach thawed
• 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese(divided)
• 15 ounces ricotta cheese
• 1 large egg
• 3 cups cooked ground beef,  (seasoned with your favorite seasoning)

Directions

• • 
    
    • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a 9x13 casserole pan with nonstick spray. Set aside. 
    • Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions. When done, lay the noodles in a single layer on a plate, parchment paper, or wax paper so they can cool and so they won't stick together. 

      
      
    • In a small pot, over medium heat, melt the butter and garlic. Once the butter is melted whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, while stirring constantly. 
      
      
    • Slowly whisk in the milk and stir everything together to combine. Allow the sauce to cook until the sauce thickens. This takes about 4-5 minutes.
      
      
    • garlic powder, and 1 cup of the parmesan cheese. Turn the heat down to low and let the sauce simmer while you prepare the spinach. 
      
      
    • Place the thawed frozen spinach onto a few sheets of paper towels, and squeeze out any excess liquid. Stir the spinach into the sauce and take the pot off the heat. 
      
      
    • In a mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, and egg. 
      
      
      
      Assemble the LASAGNA
      -  Spread 1 cup of the white sauce into the bottom of the casserole pan.- Add 3 sheets of lasagna noodles on top of the white sauce.- Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over top the noodles.-Layer 1/3 of the cooked ground beef over top the ricotta cheese.-Spread 1 cup of white sauce over the chicken.-Repeat those steps 2 more times. On the last layer, top the ground beef mixture with the remaining lasagna noodles and spread the remaining sauce over the top-Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and remaining 2 cups mozzarella cheese over top the final white sauce layer.-Bake for 45 minutes. When done, turn the oven to broil and broil the lasagna for 1-2 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
