HOMEMADE CREAMY WHITE SAUCE LASAGNA

Scrumptious and exclusive of their personal way. a few made with eggs, some with ricotta cheese and a few with meat.

The first  White Sauce Lasagna I had ever tasted became made via my sister-in-law. I clearly didn’t recognise what to expect.

But I knew, that the substances of peas, mushrooms, Italian Sausage and a creamy home made white sauce had been everything I cherished.
