Description

Lasagna doesn't have to have red sauce and ground beef. This lasagna is white with pesto, chicken and spinach and all of the typical cheeses. It's a great change of pace and is wonderful with a salad and a crusty bread.

• 3 T. olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
