To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the chopped artichoke hearts and crumbled feta cheese.
Next, prepare the béchamel sauce. In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 4 tablespoons of flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add 4 cups of milk, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, followed by a layer of the artichoke and feta mixture. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of béchamel sauce. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake the lasagna for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
This Artichoke and Feta Lasagna is a perfect combination of creamy and tangy flavors. The artichokes add a nice texture and flavor to the dish, while the feta cheese gives it a salty kick. The béchamel sauce ties everything together and makes it a comforting and satisfying meal.
