          Cream sauce:
   1/4 c  Butter
   1/4 c  Flour
     2 c  Milk

          Cheese filling:
   1/4 c  Sun-dried tomatoes; oil
          Packed; minced
     1 tb Fresh garlic; minced
 3-1/2 c  Ricotta cheese
     3    Eggs
     1 c  Grated parmesan cheese

 To make sauce melt butter with medium heat in heavy, 1 quart
 saucepan. Add flour and stir until well-blended; cook until frothy.
 Add milk, stirring constantly with wire whisk as mixture comes to a
 simmer. Cook and stir until thickened (3-4 minutes). Chill while
 mixing other ingredients. Drain and mince tomatoes and garlic. Place
 other cheese filling ingredients in 3-quart mixing bowl with tomatoes
 and garlic. Add 1-1/2 cups of cooled cream sauce and mix until well
 blended. Refrigerate, reserving 1/2-cup for later use. Cook lasagna
 noodles according to package directions. Cool under cold water and
 drain. Place 3 lasagna noodles ina 9x13x2 lightly oiled baking dish,
 overlapping slightly. Spread 1-1/2 cups cheese filling over noodles;
 sprinkle with one cup mozzarella and 1/4-cup fontina cheese. Repeat
 pasta and cheese layering three more times; top with remaining three
 lasagna noodles. Spread 1/2-cup of reserved cream sauce over top and
 cover lightly with foil. Preheat oven to 350° and bake for 1 hour.
 Remove from oven and keep warm at least 30 minutes before serving.
 Serve topped with hot marinara and Parmesan cheese. (Can be
 refrigerated a day before baking if desired.)
