Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy White Lasagna
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Cook the lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes, then drain and lay flat on a towel.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Whisk in flour and cook to form a roux, then gradually stir in whole milk and cook until thickened, seasoning with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, remaining parsley, and a pinch of salt to create the filling.
- In the greased baking dish, spread a layer of white sauce, add noodles, dollop ricotta mixture, add more white sauce and mozzarella. Repeat layers, finishing with white sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan on top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
