Red and White Lasagna
Oct 05, 2025 05:41 AM
If you love both marinara and Alfredo-style pasta sauce, then you're going to love this meaty, cheesy lasagna that combines both into one delicious dish.
Sometimes, I’m in the mood for marinara sauce, and sometimes I’m in the mood for alfredo sauce and thanks to this recipe, I don’t have to choose. The lasagna itself is quite traditional–noodles, a meaty marinara sauce, and plenty of mozzarella cheese, with the special addition of a white béchamel-style sauce added in for an extra creamy taste and texture.
The Ultimate Comfort Food: Layers of pasta, meat sauce, cheese, and melty mozzarella make this dish hearty, and satisfying.
Make it Ahead: Assemble it the night before or freeze for later. I think it tastes even better when made ahead!
Feeds a Crowd: Whether it’s a potluck, family get-together, or dinner party, this recipe makes plenty and always gets rave reviews.
