Method

Step 1

To prepare the béchamel, bring milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in another medium saucepan, melt butter and whisk in the flour to form a roux. Cook for 1 minute over low heat.

Step 3

Once the milk is simmering, add the milk to the roux and whisk frequently until the sauce is thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

To prepare the filling: In a large skillet, sauté garlic in olive oil for 1-2 minutes over medium heat. Add the ground chicken breast and cook over high heat for 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Add the spinach and sauté for 2 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool down.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Step 7

In a 13x9 inch baking dish, pour 1 ladle of béchamel and top with 3 sheets of Barilla Lasagne pasta.

Step 8

Top the sheets with another ladle of béchamel and ¼ cup of the chicken and spinach mixture, sprinkling each layer with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Step 9

Continue until you have 5 layers.

Step 10

Top the lasagne with the remaining Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Step 11

Bake covered with foil for 15-20 minutes, then remove the foil and let the top brown for approximately 5 minutes.

Step 12

Serve warm.
