French-Style Lasagna Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (French-Style Lasagna Recipe). I learned how to make lasagna this way when I worked in France. What makes it French-style is the use of a bechamel (white sauce) instead of ricotta, and Swiss (traditionally Emmental) cheese. Full of great flavor! I always get compliments.
