My family absolutely loves this recipe. I made it once for a family gathering and it's been requested 2 more times since and has been a hit everytime. Don't expect the big flavor of a traditional lasagna - this is not that. I do like the idea (from another reviewer) of adding onion and garlic to the recipe though - I may try that next time, but this is super easy the way it is and wonder if the extras might overpower the subtle tastes of the thyme and nutmeg.

A good recipe for a "first time white sauce maker". I normally do a red sauce but have been wanting to try a white sauce and was pleased with how easy this was but it lacks in "full" flavor. We like big flavors in my house and this recipe was lacking, but with that said this recipe can be "added too". I plan to make this white lasagna again but next time I will add garlic, onions and a little red pepper to give it a little more flavor and kick, oh and did I say I was pleased that this recipe had me using artichokes, something I am not use to cooking with....

This is a good base recipe and if you love artichokes, you'll love this! My family likes artichokes but the flavor is a little overwhelming so next time I think I'll try this with finely chopped broccoli to add more flavor. It reminded my husband of chicken alfredo with artichokes...the sauce turns out beautifully but if you like a lot of sauce, you should make 1-1/2 to 2 times the recipe.
