4 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. flour
3/4 c. grated cheese, Parmesan or Jack
2 c. milk

FIRST STEP: Prepare the meat and tomato sauce. Chop onions, garlic and parsley fine and fry lightly in hot salad oil. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaves, salt, pepper, water and stir until well mixed. Then toss in ground beef, breaking it up into little pieces with fork or spoon. Cover and cook over low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

SECOND STEP: Make up the Cheese Sauce. Chop small onion fine and cook in melted butter for a minute or two. Mix in flour until smooth. Add grated cheese and a dash of salt. Stir in milk gradually and continue cooking over a low heat, stirring constantly, until sauce is as thick as heavy cream. Beat the egg yolks slightly, mix in a little hot cheese mixture and yolks together and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

THIRD STEP: Cook lasagna noodles as directed on package until tender, then drain. Set oven at 325 degrees and grease a large baking dish. Put a layer of noodles on bottom of dish. Pour over enough of the meat and tomato sauce to cover noodles, then add some of the cheese sauce. Continue with layers until ingredients are all used, finishing off dish with a covering of Cheese Sauce. Bake 20 minutes, then set oven to "Broil" and broil lasagna until surface is bubbly and lightly browned. Makes 10 servings.
