I recently tried this lasagne recipe from Tasty Kitchen and it was better than expected. My kids don't normally like lasagne, but they loved this and even ate the spinach. It didn't take too terribly long to make and I plan to add it to my list of regulars.
Ingredients:
9 whole lasagne noodles (not oven-ready)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup frozen, chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups milk
4 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried Basil
1 tsp dried Oregano
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups Ricotta cheese
2 cups cooked, cubed chicken
10 oz frozen, chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
Parsley
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook lasagne noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Don't let these sit out too long because they will stick together.
3. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in butter until tender. Stir in flour and salt. Simmer until bubbly.
4. Mix in the broth and milk, and boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Stir in 2 cups Mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Season with basil, oregano, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture on the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Layer with 1/3 noodles, and all of the Ricotta and chicken. Arrange 1/3 of the noodles over the chicken and layer with 1/4 of the sauce mixture, the spinach, and the remaining 2 cups of Mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan
6. Arrange remaining noodles over cheese and spread remaining sauce evenly over noodles. Sprinkle with parsley.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes in preheated oven. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
