Open in Pepper →Skip the tomatoes and you get something creamier and quieter — noodles, cheese, a little garlic, and a béchamel or Alfredo that holds it all together. It feels like a special dinner without much fuss.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on cold nights, when company is coming, or when the kids have asked for pasta three days running and you want a change from the red sauce version.
Every recipe here is a take on it: Creamy White Lasagna Soup and White Lasagna Soup for bowl nights, Spinach and Mushroom White Lasagna for something meatless, White lasagna in the Instant Pot or the Crock Pot for busy days, and White Lasagna with Homemade Pasta and Béchamel Sauce when you have time to fuss.
Cook the roux first
Melt the butter and whisk in flour for a full 1 to 2 minutes before adding milk, so the sauce doesn't taste pasty.
Squeeze the spinach dry
Wring cooked spinach in a clean towel until no water drips out — otherwise the layers turn soupy.
Rest before slicing
Let a baked lasagna sit 15 to 20 minutes out of the oven so the squares hold their shape on the plate.
Shred your own cheese
Grate mozzarella and Parmesan off the block; bagged shreds are coated and can make a white sauce grainy.
