Instructions:
Step 1: Cook the lasagna noodles
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.

In a small saucepan, melt 4 tbsp. of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 4 tbsp. of flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk and cook until the mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
