Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 º F.
Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, stir the mixture well with a whisk. Gradually add milk, mix well before adding more. Let loose the boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook the mixture for 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
Stir in Parmesan cheese, put the mixture aside. Combine spinach, cottage cheese, 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese and nutmeg. Sprinkle 1/4 of the Parmesan cheese sauce on the bottom of a baking dish 13×9 inches.

Repeat layers, beginning pulp lasagna.

Bake the lasagna for 25 minutes. Remove the paper, bake for 20 minutes or until the lasagna is completely hot and slightly golden on top.

Personal Suggestion: Serve with garlic bread, a green salad an of course a an exquisite white wine.
