Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic and fresh rosemary, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium-low heat and whisk in all-purpose flour to form a roux. Cook for about 1 minute.
  4. Gradually add whole milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce. Season with nutmeg and mix in Parmesan cheese until melted.
  5. Fold in shredded chicken and baby spinach into the béchamel sauce until well combined.
  6. In a greased baking dish, layer béchamel sauce, no-boil lasagna noodles, chicken and spinach mixture, more béchamel, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat these layers twice.
  7. For the final layer, place the remaining noodles, béchamel, mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Let the lasagna rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
