Ingredients
6 large fresh lasagna sheets
6 slices ham
50 g onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and fragrant.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the milk and cream until smooth and thickened.
Season the sauce with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir in half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted.
Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Add lasagna sheets, slices of ham, and more sauce. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
Finish with the remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden, bubbly, and beautifully melted.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
