January 14 Meal: Veggie Lasagna

After a week off nursing a cold I got back into cooking with the Swiss Chard Lasagna with Ricotta and Mushrooms.  The recipe starts with a bechamel sauce, which is a traditional French white sauce.  It is made from milk, bay leaf, butter, flour, salt, nutmeg, and clove.  The lasagna is layered with lasagna noodles, bechamel sauce, and a Swiss chard and mushroom mixture.  Trying to be a nice wife, I left out the mushrooms on Shaun's side.  The problem I had with this meal was that I used lasagna noodles that weren't the kind that cook well in the oven, so it was a bit crunchy.  The flavor of everything together was quite good, though!
