2.5 cups milk
2.5 tablespoon flour
butter
1 teaspoon salt/pepper to taste

1. Braise flour in a little butter on the stove
2. Add warmed milk, stir and allow to thicken

2. Repeat ending with white sauce
3. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for about 40 minutes till done.

INFO & TIPS

Serve alongside a main dish with a saucy protein as this is quite creamy. Goes well with a crunchy salad or coleslaw.

If you use a tomato based sauce that would make this more of a main dish for vegetarian night I think :)

I used about 6-8 lasagne sheets in a medium dish.
