Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Slice off the top portion of the garlic head to expose each clove. Place garlic head on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over garlic and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast garlic in the preheated oven until tender and fragrant, about 40 minutes. Cool garlic until easily handled. Remove garlic cloves from the peels.
- Place spinach in a bowl. Pour enough hot water over spinach to cover; set aside until wilted. Drain and squeeze liquid from spinach.
- Mix ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan-Romano cheese blend, egg, and Italian seasoning together in a bowl.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
- Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Stir cream and milk into melted butter until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir Neufchatel cheese into cream mixture until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add roasted garlic cloves, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; stir well. Stir 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese into cream mixture; cook until cheese sauce is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir egg yolks into cheese sauce until fully incorporated. Remove saucepan from heat.
- Arrange 4 lasagna noodles in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer 1/2 of the carrots, 1/2 of the artichoke hearts, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, 1/2 of the spinach, 1/2 of the alfredo sauce, 4 lasagna noodles, respectively, over the lasagna noodles. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients, ending with a layer of lasagna noodles topped with 2 cups mozzarella cheese. Cover dish loosely with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until cheese is bubbling and lightly browned, about 15 minutes more. Remove lasagna from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

ARTICHOKE SPINACH LASAGNA
A great option for vegetarian lasagna. You will greatly enjoy the mix of vegetables in this dish! *Note: pasta sauce can be a white or red but I have found that if I'm freezing it, that the red works out best for me...none the less, I believe the original recipe does call for a white sauce. Thanks Marg (CaymanDesigns) for pointing it out.

SPINACH-ARTICHOKE LASAGNA
Inspired by the artichoke slice at Artichoke Basille's Pizza in New York City, this white sauce lasagna is a dreamy multilayered dinner. Frizzling chopped canned artichoke hearts in olive oil reduces their water content, thereby concentrating their earthy, buttery flavor. What binds the dish together is a nutmeg-rich béchamel sauce that makes everything taste comforting and familiar. Cottage cheese in place of the more traditional ricotta nixes any potential for the grainy dryness that plagues so many lasagnas. Layering this creamy, saucy wonder in an 8-inch square pan leaves you with the perfect amount of leftovers for when you want some as a snack - a snacking lasagna, if you will.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Boil a kettle of water (an electric kettle works great here).
- Meanwhile, heat a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add the olive oil and artichoke hearts and cook, stirring occasionally, until the artichoke hearts fall apart, become jammy and start to brown at the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the spinach, season with salt and pepper, and stir until considerably wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and return the saucepan to the stove (no need to wash it out).
- Make the béchamel sauce: In the saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Still whisking constantly, slowly add the half-and-half. Raise the heat to high and bring to a simmer, whisking all the while, then immediately reduce the heat to continue simmering, now whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens to the consistency of gravy, 10 to 20 minutes. Season generously with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Add half of the béchamel to the bowl with the artichokes. Stir to combine and cool slightly, for about 15 minutes. While the mixture cools, place the lasagna noodles in a large high-sided pan or dish, pour over the recently boiled water from the kettle and let soak until the noodles are softened but not soggy, about 15 minutes. Add the cottage cheese, Parmesan and egg to the artichoke mixture, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Assemble the lasagna: In an 8-inch square baking pan or dish, add enough béchamel to thinly coat the bottom. Put down a single layer of lasagna noodles, about 3 noodles, letting the ends rise up the edges of the pan. Spread half of the artichoke mixture evenly over the noodles. Turn the pan 90 degrees and put down another layer of lasagna noodles, again pressing the ends up against the edges of the pan. Spread half of the béchamel evenly over the noodles. Repeat these layers once more with the remaining lasagna noodles, artichoke mixture and béchamel, ending with the béchamel. Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella on top. (At this point, you can cover the lasagna and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours if not baking right away.)
- Bake the lasagna until the sauce is bubbling at the edges (especially in the corners of the pan), and the mozzarella and the exposed ends of the noodles are golden brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. (Add more time if baking directly from the refrigerator.) Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing so that slices won't collapse when transferred to plates.
