Ingredients
Scale
- 9 whole lasagna noodles
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
- 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1½ cups milk
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 2 cups skim ricotta cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
- Prepare the sauce: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Whisk in milk and heavy cream; season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth, then add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta with garlic powder. Layer the lasagna: Spread about 1 cup of sauce on the bottom of the pan, add noodles, half of the ricotta mixture, followed by a third of the chicken-bacon-sauce mixture, and top with mozzarella. Repeat layers two more times.
- Cover with foil and bake for 40-50 minutes until bubbling. Remove foil and bake until cheese is golden brown.
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
