Lower heat; simmer uncovered, stirring, until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, 20 to 30 minutes.
Place four in heavy meduim-size saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Add remaining garlic, the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring to boiling over medium heat, whisking constantly. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 6 T. Parmesan.
Cook lasagna noodles in large pot of lightly salted water, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm, about 8 minutes. Drain. Remove noodles to paper towel and pat dry.
Spread 1/4 c. tomato sauce in 8 x 8 x 2-inch square baking pan. Top with 2 noodles; trim to fit. Spoon 1/4 c. each tomato sauce and Parmesan sauce over top. Repeat layers, starting with noodles, using remaining peppers. Top with remaining 2 noodles, remaining tomato and Parmesan sauces.
Bake in 400 oven 30 minutes or until bubbly and browned on top. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting into 4 servings.
