Instructions
Step 1
Start by boiling 10 cups of water with 2 tsp salt in a large pot to cook the lasagna.





Step 2
As the pasta boils, prepare the meat sauce by sauteing the onion in cooking oil in a very large saucepan until translucent and starting to brown.



Step 3
Add the ground beef and herbs and spices to the onions and mix together well.










Step 4
Then add in the tomato sauce and rinse the jars with some water to get the remnants out. Cover and let the meat sauce simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.




Step 5
For the cream sauce, begin by melting the butter and adding the flour. Mix until it becomes a thick roux then pour in the milk and salt and pepper and mix well.







Step 6
Then add the cream cheese and mix it in and slowly add the shredded cheeses mixing in between.





Step 7
Once all the sauces are done, begin assembling by placing a thin layer of meat sauce at the bottom followed by the cooked lasagna pasta, followed by the meat sauce, cream sauce and shredded parmesan cheese. Repeat pasta-meatsauce-creamsauce-parmesan until you fill up the top of the pan.

Step 8
Place the lasagna in the oven for 30 minutes at 375°F and you're ready to enjoy!
