White Lasagne with Parmigiano Besciamella (Lasagne in Bianco )

This elegant white lasagne, known in Italy as lasagne in bianco, offers a sophisticated alternative to the traditional tomato-based version. Rather than a heavy ragù, this vegetarian-friendly dish relies on a silky besciamella sauce enriched with nutty Parmigiano-Reggiano, sweet shallots, and a hint of fragrant nutmeg. The addition of dry Marsala provides a complex depth of flavour that elevates the creamy layers into something truly special.

Perfect for a weekend dinner party or a comforting family meal, this recipe uses no-boil egg lasagne sheets to save time without compromising on texture. Serving this indulgent pasta with a crisp green salad and a glass of chilled white wine creates a well-balanced meal that showcases classic Italian flavours in a contemporary, meat-free way.

How to make White Lasagne with Parmigiano Besciamella (Lasagne in Bianco )

Preheat oven to 177°C with rack in middle.

Cook shallots in butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes. Add flour and cook over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, 3 minutes. Add nutmeg, then slowly whisk in milk and stock. Bring to a boil, whisking, then simmer, stirring occasionally, just until sauce lightly coats back of spoon, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool to warm, stirring occasionally. Stir in eggs, Marsala, sea salt, 1/2 teaspoons pepper, and 120ml cheese.

Spread about 300ml sauce over bottom of an 11- by 8-inch baking dish. Cover with a layer of 3 lasagne sheets. Repeat layering 3 more times, then top with remaining sauce and remaining 120ml cheese. Bake, uncovered, until browned, 45 to 55 minutes.
