White Sauce Lasagna

You guys know I love a good alfredo… so making lasagna with white sauce seemed like a no-brainer to me! I knew it was going to be good but was in absolute heaven when I took the first bite. Instead of the typical marinara meat sauce, this recipe has a white sauce meat layer packed with cheese, spinach, and tasty seasonings! This white lasagna is cheesy, hearty and sure to be a hit with everyone in your family. Make it for a weeknight dinner with some homemade garlic knots!

Ingredient List

A little bit longer of a list, but trust me, the flavor of this white sauce makes everything worth it.

White Meat Sauce Layer

Lasagna Noodles: You’ll cook these before assembling your white lasagna. Olive Oil: Helps sauté the onion, sausage, and spinach. Onion & Garlic: For a punch of savory flavor. Italian Sausage: Cooked and crumbled for some meaty goodness. You can use ground beef in place of the sausage but I find the sausage adds the perfect flavor! Spinach: Cooks down to add color and texture to the white sauce. Butter & Flour: The foundation of the sauce, these get cooked together to create a roux that thickens the milk and cream. Milk & Heavy Cream: Make the white sauce nice and creamy! Mozzarella Cheese (divided): A lasagna essential, adding gooey, stretchy goodness to the dish. You’ll also need to reserve some for the topping. Italian Seasoning: A blend of herbs like oregano, thyme, and basil that adds a flavorful touch to the sauce. Salt & Pepper: Enhance the overall flavor of the white lasagna.

Ricotta Layer

Ricotta Cheese: A must-add for that classic lasagna flavor! Parmesan Cheese: Adds a salty, cheesy flavor to the ricotta layer. Eggs: These ensure the ricotta mixture stays smooth and cohesive. Salt & Pepper: The finishing touch!
