1 cup sliced mushrooms, sauteed with onions above
1/2 cup butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
2 cups milk
2 cups chicken broth (I use Superior Touch Better Than Bouillon)
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 of a 16 oz. bag broccoli, cauliflower, carrot vegetable mix, thawed and drained

TO PREPARE THE CHEESE SAUCE:
Saute the onions and mushrooms in a little oil; set aside.

Heat the butter in a saucepan; add garlic then stir in flour and salt. Cook stirring constantly till bubbly. Remove from heat, stir in milk and broth; heat to boiling stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute.

Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan, basil, oregano, black pepper, sauteed onions and mushrooms; toss with the vegetable mixture.

TO MAKE THE LASAGNA:
Spread 1/4 of the cheese sauce mixture (about 1 1/2 cups) in an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan, top with 2 or 3 noodles, 1/2 of the cottage cheese or ricotta, 1/4 of the cheese sauce, 3/4 of the noodles, cottage cheese or ricotta, spinach and chicken, 1/4 sauce, 3-4 noodles, ending with the remaining cheese sauce.
