Accordion Lasagna in White

in ,

I saw these accordion lasagnas on the web and they immediately intrigued me.
I wanted to try them my way, in a white version with gorgonzola, Asiago and béchamel, to enhance the folds and creaminess without using sauce.
The result is a lasagna different from the classic one: spectacular, a great fridge-clearer, soft inside and with a golden crust on top, perfect for when you want to bring something simple but not ordinary to the table.

I used gorgonzola and Asiago to make them soft inside, creamy between the folds and with a golden crust on top.
I chose a white version, without sauce, to showcase the taste of gorgonzola, sweetened by the béchamel and balanced by the addition of Asiago cheese.
They are perfect when you want a LASAGNA that is more original but still simple, without too many frills, and with that slightly dramatic touch that makes people ask: “how did you make these?”.

Variants I recommend and that I will make!
🥓 Version with diced speck
Add 80–100 g of diced speck
Distribute it between the folds, together with the gorgonzola
No need to brown it first: it will cook and perfume in the oven
👉 Result: more flavorful, more robust, perfect for winter.

🍖 Version with cooked ham
Add 100 g of diced or sliced cooked ham
Place it between the folds, before pouring the béchamel
👉 Result: more delicate and soft, also suitable for those who don’t like strong flavors.

⚠️ Important tip
If you use speck or ham, I recommend:
reducing the salt in the béchamel very slightly,
because they already add saltiness themselves.

Ingredients

  • 15 lasagna sheets
  • 2 1/3 cups béchamel (besciamella)
  • 3 oz gorgonzola
  • 3 oz Asiago
  • 1 oz Grana Padano, grated (before baking)

Tools

  • Teglie

Steps

  • Place a thin layer of béchamel on the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking.
    Fold the lasagna sheets accordion-style, soft and not too tight, like a wide wave.

  • Stand the sheets vertically, side by side.
    Add the GORGONZOLA in small pieces between the folds.
    Add half of the Asiago also inside, between the waves of fresh pasta.

  • Pour the béchamel so that it runs between the folds of the accordion lasagna using a spoon or a small ladle.
    Finish the surface with the remaining Asiago.
    Sprinkle the grated Grana Padano only over the pasta folds.
    Bake in a static oven at 356°F for 30–35 minutes.

  • Broil for 5 minutes with a light grill if you want that crisp crust we always end up fighting over at the table!
    Let rest 10–15 minutes before serving to allow it to set properly.

    Enjoy your meal! Annalisa
