Four Cheese Lasagna With Gorgonzola is a classic Italian dish that is both rich and hearty. This lasagna is made with four kinds of cheese, which makes it extra creamy and delicious. Gruyere cheese and Fontina cheese are used to add a nutty flavor to the dish while Parmesan cheese adds a salty taste. Ricotta cheese is used for its creaminess and light flavor. Gorgonzola cheese is a blue cheese that has a strong flavor and gives the lasagna a tangy kick. The lasagna is prepared in a homemade white sauce that is flavored with garlic and shallot. This dish is perfect to make for a special occasion or a cozy dinner at home. It is best served hot with a fresh green salad and a glass of red wine.

Instructions

1.Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the gruyere cheese, parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, egg, black pepper, and parsley. Mix well and set aside.
3.Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic, cook for about 2 minutes or until softened. Add flour and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes while stirring constantly.
4.Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Add salt, bay leaf, and cayenne pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently. Cook until thickened and bubbly, for about 7-8 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and discard.
5.In a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, spread 1 cup of the sauce evenly on the bottom of the dish.
6.Place 5 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread about half of the cheese mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the Fontina cheese and 1/3 of the Gorgonzola cheese. Spoon another 1 cup of sauce over the cheeses. Repeat the layers ending with the sauce.
7.Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes.
8.Remove the foil and bake until the noodles are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly, for about 25 min more. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
