Asparagus lasagna with gorgonzola and sausage is an appetizing and original first course that you will surely like because it’s the perfect dish for any occasion. It’s enriched with a delicate béchamel (read how to make it quickly) between layers of fresh egg pasta, then it’s baked and gratinated in the oven to obtain that delicious crispy crust.
