White Lasagne

I usually save this recipe for when friends and family come into town. It is my most requested dish, and it can be made without meat and most can’t tell. This is also a dish that I usually measure free-handed, so I will do my best to give you accurate measurements. You can also freeze leftovers, but from my experience, there’s never any left! It’s also a good way to sneak in some veggies to the kids!
