Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
-
In a large saucepan, melt the margarine over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Saute until they are tender and aromatic.
-
Stir in the flour, chicken bouillon granules, pepper, and dried thyme. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
-
Gradually add the nonfat milk to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil.
-
Cook and stir the sauce for 2 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
-
Add the broccoli florets to the saucepan and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender yet still vibrant green.
-
Stir in the small curd cottage cheese and three-quarters of the grated Swiss cheese until everything is well incorporated.
-
Drain the cooked lasagna noodles and set them aside.
-
Spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Begin assembling the lasagna by layering 3 noodles at the bottom of the baking dish, followed by a third of the creamy sauce mixture.
-
Repeat the layers twice more, ending with a layer of the sauce on top.
-
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the lasagna is bubbling and the broccoli is tender.
-
Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining Swiss cheese over the top of the lasagna.
-
Return the uncovered lasagna to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
-
Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before cutting into portions and serving.
