1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 cups milk
2 pkgs. (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, cooked and drained
1/2 teaspoon ground mace or nutmeg
9 lasagne noodles, cooked
1 cup ricotta cheese or creamed cottage cheese

Melt butter in saucepan and stir in flour and salt until smooth and well
blended. Gradually add milk; cook and stir until sauce begins to bubble.
Continue to cook, stirring constantly, over low heat for 5 minutes. Combine
2 cups of sauce with spinach and mace or nutmeg and set aside. Pour half the
remaining sauce into a greased 12x8x2-inch glass baking dish and cover with
3 lasagne noodles. Spread half the spinach mixture over noodles, dot with
half the ricotta cheese and slices of 1 egg. Repeat layer of noodles,
spinach, cottage cheese and egg. Top with remaining 3 noodles and pour
remaining sauce over noodles. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake in a
375° oven for 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Let spinach lasagna stand
at least 10 minutes before serving.
