Ingredients
  • 3 quart Milk
  • 1/2 pound Margarine
  • 1/2 pound Flour
  • 1 1/2 pound Spinach (chopped) ; frozen,
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190°C).
  2. 2
    Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Rinse with cold water and lay flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. 3
    In a large saucepan, melt margarine over medium heat. Whisk in flour to create a roux, cooking for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  4. 4
    Gradually whisk in milk, chicken base, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, basil, black pepper, and onion powder. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle simmer.
  5. 5
    Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  6. 6
    Thaw frozen spinach and squeeze out excess water using a colander or clean kitchen towel.
  7. 7
    Stir the drained spinach, shredded carrots, sliced mushrooms, and diced cooked chicken into the white sauce. Season with salt to taste.
  8. 8
    In a large baking dish or hotel pan, spread a thin layer of white sauce on the bottom.
  9. 9
    Layer with lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of the chicken-spinach sauce, then a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
  10. 10
    Repeat layers two more times, ending with a final layer of noodles topped with remaining sauce and a generous layer of mozzarella cheese.
  11. 11
    Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  12. 12
    Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  13. 13
    Let the lasagna rest for 15 minutes before cutting into 4x8 inch portions to allow it to set.
