In reply to natalie. Natalie, I'm Italian and we don't make lasagna with bechamel sauce. It depends in which region of Italy you were born in. I was born in Calabria and we only ever made meat lasagna with mozzarella. We never used ricotta or anything like that unless we added spinach. What we did add though are shredded hard boiled eggs to the layer of mozzarella. Even people born in a different town of Calabria would make it different then we do.

THIS looks amazing! We had an Italian restaurant for years (closed due to economics)

I am Italian, from southern Italy, Calabria, and lasagna was never made with bechemal sauce–this is a northern Italy variation. People in Southern Italy were too poor to afford butter and milk.

Hey, I love the idea but if I might be honest with you, real Italian lasagna is made with béchamel sauce. It’s very simple to do on your own (you basically only need butter, milk and all-purpose flour as well as a saucepan) and it’s a cornerstone of every traditional lasagna recipe.

This looks amazing! One thing, you might want to change the 1.2 cup basil chopped to 1/2 so nobody confuses it with 12 cups. I like basil but that might be a little much. 😉
