9

lasagna noodles (plus extra for "breakage"insurance)

1

onion, chopped 

several cloves of garlic (how much is up to you!)

2 tbsp

butter 

1/2 cup

all-purpose flour

1

tsp+ salt

2 cups

chicken broth

2 cups

milk

1/2 cup

white wine

4 cups

shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

1 cup

grated Parmesan cheese, divided

1 tsp

dried basil

1 tsp

dried oregano

1/2 tsp

ground black pepper

3 cups

ricotta (I used the low fat variety)

2

+ cups of cooked, cubed chicken meat (1 used the meat from a whole rotisserie chicken)

1

large bag of fresh baby spinach, plus maybe more according to your taste

1 tbsp

chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup

grated Parmesan cheese for topping 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Remove the garlic cloves from the bulb, but do not peel them.

Place cloves on cookie sheet that has a light olive oil coating.

Lightly coat garlic cloves in olive oil. 

Roast for 15 minutes or until garlic is soft.

Allow garlic to cool and remove the skins.

Melt a couple of tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. 

Cook the onion (and garlic if using raw garlic) in the butter until tender, stirring frequently.

Stir in the flour and salt, and simmer until bubbly.

Mix in the broth, wine, milk, and some black pepper and boil, stirring constantly for a couple of minutes.  

If using roasted garlic, chop (smash) it up fine and add it now.

Stir in 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

Season with basil, oregano, and more pepper and salt if you think it needs it.

Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. 

Cook 1 chopped onion (and garlic if using raw garlic) in the butter until tender, stirring frequently.
