Instructions

Step 1

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

2. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, minced garlic, salt, pepper, chopped baby spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

Step 3

3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk constantly until it forms a smooth paste, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the mixture until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

4. If not already cooked, shred cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

5. In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom. Arrange a layer of lasagne sheets on top. Spread a portion of the filling over the lasagne sheets, followed by a layer of shredded chicken. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of béchamel sauce on top.

Step 6

6. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the final layer of béchamel sauce.

Step 7

7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the lasagne is bubbly and golden brown on top.

Step 8

8. Allow the lasagne to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade lasagne!
