    List of Ingredients




    3 pounds fresh asparagus -- cut into 1-inch pieces
    1/3 cup butter or margarine
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    5 cups milk
    1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese -- cubed
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    12 lasagna noodles -- cooked and drained
    2 cups (8-ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
    1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

    In a large saucepan, cook asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender, about 7 minutes; drain and set aside. In another large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cream cheese, lemon juice, peel and nutmeg until cheese is melted. Spread about 3/4 cup sauce in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Layer with three noodles, a fourth of the sauce and a third of the asparagus and mozzarella. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining noodles and sauce (dish will be full). Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, at 375' for 45-50 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
