Directions

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle with flour and whisk it into the butter until it is smooth. Continue stirring and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the roux turns a light golden color.
• Turn up the heat to medium-high and slowly add milk while whisking it until it thickens and combines. Then, gently simmer over medium-low heat for 10-20 minutes until the raw flour taste has disappeared and you have a smooth sauce at the desired thickness.
• Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste.

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Do not overcook. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Meanwhile, put (slightly salted) water in a pot on the stove to boil. When it boils, add broccoli. Cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender-crisp. Do not overcook. Drain broccoli in a colander and add to a large mixing bowl.
• Cut the broccoli into chunks. Add the spinach and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Put a light layer of bechamel sauce on the bottom of a 9x13” casserole dish.
• Next, add a layer of the spinach-broccoli mixture. Then, add three lasagna noodles.
• Top the noodles with a layer of bechamel sauce, spinach-broccoli mixture, ricotta, and mozzarella. Add 3 more noodles and repeat the layers. Finish with mozzarella.
