Lasagna with a French Twist

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender but still slightly firm, about 8 minutes. Drain.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3. 3

   In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the ground beef, onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic; cook and stir until the beef is no longer pink, 5 to 8 minutes.

4. 4

   Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the milk and heavy cream. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Spread 1/4 of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with 3 lasagna noodles. Spoon 1/3 of the beef mixture over the noodles. Spread 1/4 of the tomato sauce and 1/3 of the white sauce over the beef mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence, and garlic powder on top. Cover with 1/3 of the Swiss cheese and mozzarella cheese.

6. 6

   Repeat the layers twice, starting with noodles and finishing with the cheeses.

7. 7

   Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven until the top is deeply browned, 30 to 45 minutes.
