Layers of pasta are filled with a rich ground beef sauce, simmered gently with onions, carrots, garlic, and warm spices like cinnamon and cloves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sauce gets its depth from beef broth and chopped tomatoes, while a creamy b\u00e9chamel made from butter, flour, and milk adds a smooth, comforting touch to every bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What sets this lasagna apart is the balance of familiar comfort and subtle Mediterranean flavor. There\u2019s no need to boil the pasta sheets \u2014 they cook perfectly in the oven as they soak up the flavorful sauce. Topped with plenty of mozzarella and Parmesan, this dish bakes into a golden, bubbling tray of goodness that\u2019s ideal for a relaxed family dinner or a cozy weekend meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to cook?
