Directions:Meat Sauce:
Saute onion and garlic (and mushrooms if using) to a pan with 1 Tbsp oil until the onions are soft and translucent (not brown as this will make them taste bitter). Add your chicken and cook, stirring in the pan with the other ingredients. Add the broth, spinach and Worcestershire Sauce and leave to simmer very low while you make the cheese sauce.
Cheese Sauce:
Melt butter in pan, add flour & mustard powder and beat until smooth paste and take pan off the heat. Slowly add the milk, a little at a time and combine until smooth, then add a little more milk, combine. Continue until all the milk is used. Return to gentle heat, and keep stirring until thick. This will take about 5 minutes so be patient and keep stirring! Add 3/4 of the grated cheese and combine. The remaining 1/4 of the cheese is for the top of the lasagna.
Build the lasagna:
Preheat oven to 325º. Start with a layer of 1/3 of the meat sauce on the bottom of the greased pan, then a layer of lasagna sheets, then cheese sauce. Repeat these layers, ending with the cheese sauce as the final top layer. Then sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top.
*** you should be able to make 3 layers of lasagna sheets. |
