Asparagus Lasagna
Description
This asparagus lasagna recipe features ham, mozzarella cheese, and a rich, creamy garlic and thyme sauce for a welcome fresh tweak on a typical lasagna.
Ingredients
•
5 wide lasagna noodles
•
2 tablespoons margarine
•
2 cloves garlic, chopped
•
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
•
1 1/2 cups milk
•
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
•
1 (15 ounce) can asparagus, drained
•
1 cup julienned fully cooked ham
•
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain. Cut noodles in half crosswise.
2
Meanwhile, melt margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook until just fragrant. Stir in flour until no lumps remain; gradually stir in milk. Season with thyme; simmer until thick. Remove sauce from heat.
3
Grease a 9x9-inch microwave-safe glass baking dish. Layer noodles, sauce, asparagus, ham, and mozzarella in the prepared baking dish; repeat layers twice more, starting each layer with noodles and finishing with mozzarella.
4
Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap; microwave on high until cheese is melted and bubbly, 9 to 10 minutes (time may vary depending on your microwave). Set aside before serving, 5 to 10 minutes.
