Ingredients
  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 cups cubed, cooked chicken
  • 10 oz pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagne noodles in boiling water for 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the butter until tender, stirring frequently. Stir in flour and salt; simmer until bubbly.
  3. Mix in the broth and milk, and boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup Parmesan. Season with basil, oregano and ground black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Spread ⅓ of the sauce mixture on the bottom of the 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer with ⅓ of the noodles, and all of the ricotta and the chicken. Arrange ⅓ of the noodles over the chicken and layer with ¼ of the sauce mixture, the spinach, and the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and ½ cup parm cheese.
  5. Arrange remaining noodles over cheese and spread remaining sauce evenly over noodles. Sprinkle with parsley and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in preheated oven.
  7. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
