Lasagna Components

Bechamel Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bechamel Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for about 2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped Swiss chard and sauté until wilted. Stir in the roasted garlic, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Cheeses

    In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, half of the fontina cheese, and the sautéed Swiss chard mixture. Mix until well blended.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 4

    Assemble the Lasagna

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a layer of bechamel sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer 4 lasagna noodles, then half of the cheese filling, followed by more bechamel, and repeat the layers. Top the last layer with remaining noodles, bechamel sauce, and sprinkle with the remaining fontina and parmesan cheese.

  2. 5

    Bake

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
