Chicken and Spinach Lasagna image

This recipe makes a lot, but it will freeze well should you decide against grazing over leftovers for a few days, and it's certainly worth making extra if you are going to go to all the trouble of making lasagna in the first place.

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 pieces lasagna noodles, uncooked
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast halves, chopped
1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups skim milk

1 (15 ounce) carton part-skim ricotta cheese
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, cook onion in butter until tender.
  • Stir in cornstarch, basil, garlic powder and nutmeg.
  • Add milk all at once.
  • Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; stir in spinach.
  • In medium bowl, stir in together Ricotta and egg.
  • Add mozzarella and half of parmesan; mix well.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Arrange three of the uncooked lasagna pieces in bottom of a greased 12x7 rectangular baking dish.
  • Top with half of spinach mixture, half the cooked chicken and half the Ricotta mixture.
  • Repeat layers.
  • Top with remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Now tent the baking dish with foil and seal well (you don't want the foil touching the top of the lasagna). Bake for 60 minutes or until mixture is bubbly.
