Chicken Cheese Lasagna


1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup flour
2 cups milk
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups shredded Mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 onion chopped
1 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. pepper
8 ounces uncooked lasagne noodles (9-10 noodles)
2 cups creamed cottage cheese
2 cups cooked chicken breast
2 pkgs (10 oz each) chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
1/2 cup grated Parmesan


Heat margarine in 2 qt saucepan over low heat until melted. Add garlic. Stir in flour. Cook, stirring constantly until bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in milk and broth. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Stir in mozzarella, 1/2 cup Parmesan, onion, basil, oregano, and pepper. Cook over low heat stirring constantly until cheese is melted. Spread 1/4 of the cheese sauce (about 1 1/2 cups) in ungreased rectangular (13x9") baking dish and top with 3 or 4 noodles (cooked or uncooked, your preference), overlapping if necessary. Spread 1/2 of the cottage cheese over noodles. Repeat with 1/4 of cheese sauce, 3-4 noodles, and remaining cottage cheese. Top with chicken, spinach, 1/4 of cheese sauce, remaining noodles, and remaining cheese sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan. Cook uncovered in 350°F degree oven until noodles are done, 35-40 minutes. Let stand 10-15 minutes before cutting (to firm up a bit). Makes 12 servings.

Note: If your family doesn't like spinach, that can easily be omitted or you might substitute chopped broccoli instead.
