2. Prepare the Tomato Sauce Mixture:

   • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
   • Stir in the tomato sauce, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, and garlic powder.
   • Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

3. Prepare the Broccoli Sauce:

   • In another saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat.
   • Whisk in the flour until smooth, then gradually add the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until thickened.
   • Add the chopped broccoli and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

4. Assemble the Lasagna:

   • Spread half of the tomato sauce mixture evenly onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
   • Arrange 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce.

   • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
