Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ Make White Sauce

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
-
Whisk in flour and cook 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.

Slowly whisk in heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and optional nutmeg.

Simmer until thickened, about 3–5 minutes.

Remove foil and bake 10–15 more minutes, until cheese is golden and bubbly.
-
Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Tips
-
Use fresh or well-drained frozen spinach to avoid watery lasagna.
-
For extra flavor, sauté garlic in butter before adding flour for the sauce.
-
Add sautéed mushrooms or artichokes for more veggies.
-
This lasagna reheats well — perfect for leftovers.
I can also give a keto-friendly version using low-carb noodles or zucchini slices instead of pasta while keeping it creamy and cheesy.
