Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups low-fat (1%) milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 heads broccoli, cut into florets
10 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms
12 traditional lasagna noodles (from a 16-ounce package)
1 15 ounce container reduced-fat ricotta cheese, mixed with 1 egg
2 cups shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. 2. In a medium saucepan, whisk flour and 1 cup of the milk until smooth. Stir in remaining 2 1/2 cups milk and bring to a boil; boil for 3 minutes, whisking constantly, until thickened. Whisk in salt, pepper, nutmeg and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan. Set aside. 3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add broccoli and cook 4 minutes; add mushrooms during last minute of cooking time. Using a slotted spoon, remove broccoli and mushrooms to a bowl. In the same pot, cook lasagna noodles following package directions, about 10 minutes. Drain. 4. Assemble lasagna: Spread 1/2 cup of the cheese sauce in bottom of prepared dish. Place 3 noodles over sauce, evenly spread ricotta mixture over top and add another layer of noodles. Spoon on vegetables, 2 cups of the sauce and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Place another layer of noodles over vegetables and top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of cheese and remaining noodles. Evenly spread the remaining 1 cup of sauce over top and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. 5. Cover with nonstick foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes; uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.
