Spinach Lasagna

Here is the recipe for the Lasagna. It seemed like a lot of work the first time I made it but it really doesn't take that long. Just a note about the spinach: If you use frozen spinach then make sure it is completely thawed out, place it in a dish towel and wring all of the water out. Otherwise the lasagna will be too wet.

1/4 c. butter

2 garlic cloves (or seasoning)

1/2 c. flour

1 tsp salt

2 c milk

2 c. chicken broth

2 c. mozzarella cheese

1/2 c. parmesan cheese

1 chopped onion

1 tsp basil (if you have it)

1/2 tsp oregano (if you have it)

1/2 tsp pepper

9 lasagna noodles (partially cooked)

2 c. cottage cheese

2 c. cooked chicken cubed

2 10 oz pkg frozen spinach (I don't like using frozen because it looks slimy. If you go fresh make sure you use enough. It may seem like lots but spinach cooks down)

Saute onions, garlic and seasonings in butter. Mix in flour and then add milk and chiken broth. Stir (on med-low heat) until thick. Add parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, let melt slowly. Grease 9x13 pan. Put a little sauce in the bottom. Layer noodles, cottage cheese and sauce. Repeat two more times ending with sauce on top. Put spinach and chicken cubes on top. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Let set before cutting
