How To Make spinach and white cheese lasagna
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350, and butter a 11" x 15" pan.
-
Step 2BECHAMEL SAUCE
-
Step 3In a large, heavy dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. When the butter is hot, whisk in the flour and Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring constantly, until you can start to smell the butter and flour, just until it barely starts to change color. Whisk in the milk, and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook until it starts to thicken, until it almost as thick as yogurt, season to taste. Remove from the heat and set to the side.
