White Cheese Chicken Lasagna

So a full 13x9 pan of lasagna is one of two things for 2 people 1.) it's too big and 2.) it begs people (like Eric) to overeat (when they should not).  I've been toying with breaking lasagna noodles in half so I could make a lasagna more appropriate for 2 people.  Lasagna noodles broken in half do not *exactly* fit an 8x8 pan but it comes close enough for me and since I wanted to try this recipe, I figured it was better to make a smaller version in case we did not care for it (side note: we both did like it and Eric complained that there was only enough left for him to have two more portions).  Obviously, this can be easily doubled to make a 13x9 pan if you'd prefer.

9 lasagna noodles halves (break before cooking-it's easier)
1/4 c butter
1/4 onion, chopped
2 small cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 c chicken broth
3/4 c milk
2 c mozzarella cheese, shredded. divided
1/2 c Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 c ricotta cheese
1 1/2 c cooked chicken breast, cubed
8 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained well
1 tsp dried parsley

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Cook lasagna noodles as directed.  Drain and rinse with cold water.  Set aside.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.  Cook onion and garlic in butter until tender about 3-4 minutes.  Stir often.  Stir in flour and salt, turn heat down to simmer and cook until mixture bubbles.  Mix in broth and milk, turn heat up to bring to a boil.  Bring to a boil for 1 minute and stir constantly.  Stir in 1 c mozzarella cheese and 1/4 c of Parmesan cheese.  Remove from heat.  Season with red pepper flakes, basil, and ground black pepper.  Set aside.  In a small bowl, combine the ricotta and 1/2 of the chicken-set aside

Spray an 8x8 pan with non stick spray.  Spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture in the bottom of the dish.  Layer with 3 noodles, ricotta-chicken mixture.  Layer with 3 more lasagna noodle halves and top with spinach then 1/3 of sauce mixture, rest of chicken, and 1/2 c of mozzarella cheese.  Arrange remaining 3 lasagna noodle halves over top and spread remaining sauce evenly over noodles.  Top with remaining 1/4 c Parmesan cheese and 1/2 c mozzarella cheese.  Sprinkle parsley over top.

Bake for 40 minutes at 350 F.  When done baking, turn broiler to high and place dish as close to broiler as possible.  Broil for 1-2 minutes or until top begins to brown.
