Directions

Season with salt and pepper to taste. - Add the tomato sauce to the ground beef and let it cook for a few minutes to combine the flavors.
Reserve. - In another pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the wheat flour and stir well to make a roux.
Cook for a few minutes until the mixture is lightly golden. - Gradually add the milk to the pan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Cook until the béchamel sauce thickens.
If desired, add a pinch of nutmeg, salt and pepper to season the sauce.

Place a layer of lasagna pasta sheets on top. - Cover the pasta with a layer of ground beef sauce, followed by a layer of béchamel sauce and a layer of grated mozzarella cheese.
Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese on top. - Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the lasagna is bubbly and cooked.
