Ingredients:

4 cups

Whole Milk

Directions:

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil

2

Add the noodles, and cook according to package directions

3

Strain into a colander, and toss with oil

4

Drape the noodles over and around the side of the colander to cool

5

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat

6

Add the sausage and scallion whites, and cook, stirring and breaking the meat up into bite-size pieces (not crumbs), until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes

7

Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage, and stir until it is completely absorbed

8

Add 1/2 the milk, and stir until it starts to thicken

9

Stir in the remaining milk, bring to a simmer and stir until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes

10

Stir in 2 teaspoons salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper and the nutmeg

11

Remove the sauce from the heat, and let cool

12

Mix together the mozzarella, Cheddar and Parmesan in a medium bowl

13

Oil a 9- by 13-inch baking dish

14

Spread about 4 tablespoons of the sauce (without big pieces of sausage) over the bottom

15

Arrange 4 slightly overlapping noodles to fully cover the bottom of the dish

16

Spread 1/3 of the remaining sauce over the noodles

17

Spread 1/2 the spinach in an even layer

18

Sprinkle with about 1/3 of the scallion greens, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper and 1/3 of the cheese mixture

19

Continue layering with 4 more noodles, 1/2 of the remaining sauce, the remaining spinach, 1/2 of the remaining scallion greens, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper and 1/2 of the remaining cheese

20

Finish the lasagna with the remaining noodles, sauce and cheese

21

Cover the top with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight

22

Do the same with the remaining scallion greens

23

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

24

Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish, and cover with foil

25

Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 45 minutes

26

Uncover the dish, and continue to bake until the lasagna is slightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes

27

Top with the remaining scallions, the parsley and a sprinkle of black pepper

28

Let sit for at least 15 minutes, then slice and serve
