I got this recipe on allrecipes.com and it was SOOOOOO good!!!! It made a lot of lasagna (two 9x9 pans, i froze one) and the only things i changed were I used no-bake lasagna noodles and i used about 5x as much parsely it said... i mixed about 1/2 cup in the ricotta and sprinkled at least a cup on top before baking. I also used a lot less spinach than it said... we're not huge on spinach, i used probably 1/2 or 3/4 cup drained spinach and it was just right. We LOVED this meal!!! It was one where my tongue wants more but i was already so full... i just wanted to keep on tasting it! The broccoli salad was a $5 mix from Costco and was SO easy and delicious!

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and rinse with cold water.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the butter until tender, stirring frequently. Stir in the flour and salt, and simmer until bubbly. Mix in the broth and milk, and boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in 2 cups mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Season with the basil, oregano, and ground black pepper. Remove from heat, and set aside.
Spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer with 1/3 of the noodles, the ricotta, and the chicken. Arrange 1/3 of the noodles over the chicken, and layer with 1/3 of the sauce mixture, spinach, and the remaining 2 cups mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Arrange remaining noodles over cheese, and spread remaining sauce evenly over noodles. Sprinkle with parsley and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven.

So I was lucky enough to taste this yummy lasagna that Patrice made and she is definitely right. It is just like in Ratatouille (I am not sure how to spell it) when the rat eats the strawberry and cheese and something exciting happens. Try it, it is great.
