For the Lasagna Layers
  • 12 sheets No-boil lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese for topping
  • 1 cup Baby spinach, roughly chopped (optional) for a nutritious boost

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sauté garlic and rosemary in olive oil over medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant. Add shredded chicken, salt, and pepper; stir and remove from heat.
  3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, cooking for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Flavor with nutmeg and stir in Parmesan cheese before removing from heat.
  4. Combine chopped spinach with the chicken mixture, if using, and give it a good stir.
  5. Layer a thin layer of béchamel sauce in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add 3 lasagna noodles, then one-third of the chicken mixture, one-quarter of the béchamel, and one-quarter of the mozzarella. Repeat this layering twice more.
  6. Finish with the remaining noodles, béchamel, mozzarella, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese on top.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After that, remove the foil and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  8. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
