Ingredients

• 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
• 3 cups Cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
• 2 cups Mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 tablespoons Butter
• 6 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles until al dente as per package instructions. Drain and lay the cooked sheets on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms release their moisture and are tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 5

Gradually add the milk and heavy cream to the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 6

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Remove the béchamel sauce from the heat and set it aside.

Step 7

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of the béchamel sauce on the bottom of the dish.

Step 8

Begin layering your lasagna: start with a single layer of lasagna noodles, spread a layer of béchamel sauce, followed by shredded chicken, cooked mushrooms, spinach, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat this layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of mozzarella on top.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
