BECHAMEL SAUCE-----FOR LASAGNA

• 4 Tbsp. butter


• 1/3 cup flour


• 2 1/4 cups milk


• salt to taste


• pinch of nutmeg

On low heat, melt butter in a skillet. Slowly sift flour in, a little at a time, while continuing to stir. Add the milk a little at a time, again, while stirring. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil....while stirring slowly. It should begin to thicken. Take off the heat. Now stir in the pinch of nutmeg and dash of salt.

I fix my "homemade" lasagna the quick and easy way and then just recently started adding in this homemade bechamel sauce. So, prepare your lasagna noodles and sauce however you choose.In a 9x13 casserole dish, I layer mine like this: (sorry it's lengthy)---meat sauce, noodles, meat sauce, bechamel, shredded mozzarella, noodles, meat sauce, shredded mozzarella, noodles, meat sauce, bechamel sauce, and top with a layer of sliced provolone.
