Method

1. In a pot of salted water, cook the lasagna sheets until they are half-cooked (al dente).
2. Prepare the filling: in a pot, sauté the onions in olive oil, then add the meat, carrots, mushrooms and corn and stir.
3. Season with pepper and salt and cook until the meat and vegetables are done.
4. Add the tomato sauce and stir.
5. Let the filling simmer for a few minutes, then remove from the heat.
6. Prepare the béchamel: in a pot, melt the butter over heat then add the flour and stir well.
7. Add the milk and stir quickly to prevent lumps; add the milk slowly and in batches.
8. Add salt and pepper and stir.
9. Let the béchamel sauce simmer gently until it thickens slightly.
10. In a Pyrex dish, put a small amount of béchamel in the bottom, then lay down a layer of lasagna sheets.
11. Spread some meat-and-vegetable filling over the lasagna, then a layer of béchamel; repeat to make 3 or 4 layers.
12. Make sure the top layer is béchamel; pour all remaining béchamel over the dish and sprinkle with grated mozzarella.
13. Place the dish in a preheated oven at medium heat until it browns and is cooked, then serve hot... It's best not to cut it until it cools slightly so it holds together.
