  • 1/2 cup spring onions, sliced
  • 1 cup frozen green peas, thawed and drained
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 3 1/2 cups skim milk

  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat Swiss cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare pasta according to package directions.
     
  2. Spray a Dutch oven or large skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken and saute four minutes or until cooked through. Drain well and set aside.
     
  3. Recoat Dutch oven with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add mushrooms, carrots and onions; saute six minutes. Set aside.

  7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
     
  8. Spread one cup of the sauce over the bottom of a 13 X 9 X 2-inch pan. Arrange four pieces of the lasagna, three lengthwise, one widthwise) over the sauce. Top with half of ricotta cheese mixture, half of chicken mixture and half of remaining sauce mixture.
