What a great way to change up the classic lasagna. It's very tasty, made with a creamy, cheesy white sauce, ham and mushrooms.
9 - 12 lasagna noodles, cooked
1/2 c. chopped onion
2 T. butter
3 T. all-purpose flour
2 c. milk
1 c. cottage cheese
2 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
2 c. finely chopped, fully cooked ham
8 oz. fresh mushrooms (or 8 oz. canned mushrooms, drained)
1 T. dried parsley
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Boil lasagna noodles in well salted water according to package directions; drain; set aside.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add onion and mushrooms; cook until tender, about 4 - 5 minutes.
Stir in flour until onions are well coated. Add milk; cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and just beginning to bubble, 5 - 7 minutes.
Add cottage cheese and 1 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese; stir until melted. Stir in ham, mushrooms and parsley; remove from heat.
In prepared baking dish, arrange 3 lasagna noodles; top with one third of the ham mixture. Repeat to create 2 more layers of noodles and sauce. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Bake 40 minutes. Remove from the oven; let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
10-12 servings.
