2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Add the flour to the skillet and whisk for 2 minutes until it turns golden brown.
Gradually add the milk to the skillet, whisking constantly. Cook until the sauce thickens, then remove from heat.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg into the white sauce.
In a separate bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, and half of the mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
To assemble, spread a thin layer of the white sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
Top the noodles with half of the spinach and cheese mixture. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of white sauce on top.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before serving.
