HOMEMADE CREAMY WHITE SAUCE LASAGNA

It does take a little bit of extra time, (fortunately there are those oven ready lasagna noodles which makes life easier) and few extra pots, but well worth it. Which makes this Lasagna recipe the perfect Special Occasion Dish.

The first White Sauce Lasagna I had ever tasted was made by my sister-in-law. I really didn’t know what to expect. But I knew, that the ingredients of peas, mushrooms, Italian Sausage and a creamy homemade white sauce were everything I loved.

You know it can’t get much better than that! So needless to say you can certainly bet I got that recipe written down before the evening ended. 

After living in Italy for a few years I came to realize that there are so many delicious Lasagna Recipes. Every region has their own and every family has their own way of making this Classic Italian Dish.
