Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and cottage cheese.
- Spray cooking oil spray into bottom of deep lasagna pan.
- Pour all of the chicken broth into the lasagna pan.
- Place 5-6 uncooked lasagna noodles on bottom of lasagna pan (in the chicken broth), making sure they lie flat (even if you have to break off the corners of the noodles).
- Spread 1/3 of the sour cream/soup/cottage cheese mixture over the noodles.
- Sprinkle 1/3 cooked cubed chicken and mushrooms (and spinach if using) over noodles, followed by 1 cup grated mozzarella.
- Repeat layers so you end up with 3 layers, gently pushing each layer down to pack it in and to lie as flat as possible.
- Top final mozzarella layer with grated Co-Jack or Colby cheese and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Cover dish with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 60 minutes.
- Uncover dish and bake an additional 10 minutes to lightly brown the top layer of cheese.
- Let dish stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
Tips:
- Choose the right lasagna noodles. There are two main types of lasagna noodles: oven-ready and no-boil. Oven-ready noodles are pre-cooked and can be used directly in the lasagna. No-boil noodles need to be boiled before they can be used, but they cook more quickly than oven-ready noodles.
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the lasagna will taste. This includes the cheese, meat, sauce, and vegetables.
- Don't overcook the lasagna. Lasagna is a delicate dish, and it can easily be overcooked. The best way to tell if the lasagna is done is to insert a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the lasagna is done.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving. This will allow the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the lasagna with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for lasagna include garlic bread, salad, and roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Lasagna is a classic Italian dish that is enjoyed by people all over the world. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious lasagna that your family and friends will love.
