Ingredients

  • 9 dried lasagna noodles (about 8 ounces)

  • 1 pound ground lamb or beef

  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 8 ounce can tomato sauce

  • ¼ cup dry red wine or beef broth

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 3 tablespoon butter

  • 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 ¾ cup milk

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1 2.25 ounce can sliced pitted ripe olives, drained

  • 8 ounce crumbled feta cheese

  • 8 ounce white cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Cook noodles according to package directions; drain and rinse. In large skillet cook meat, onion, and garlic until meat is brown. Drain off fat. Stir in tomato sauce, wine, oregano, and cinnamon. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Gradually stir meat mixture into 1 beaten egg; set aside.

  2. In medium saucepan melt butter; stir in flour and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add milk. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; cook and stir 1 minute more. Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan; set aside. Combine 2 eggs and remaining Parmesan. To assemble, spread 2 tablespoons cheese sauce in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish or 3-quart rectangular casserole. Top with 3 noodles, one-third each of the meat sauce, remaining cheese sauce, and olives. Drizzle with one-third of egg-Parmesan mixture; sprinkle with one-third each of cheeses. Repeat layers twice. Bake, uncovered, 35 to 40 minutes or until hot. Let stand 10 minutes. Makes 12 servings.
