CREAMY WHITE CHEESY CHICKEN LASAGNA
what makes this lasagna different is that I add a can of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup to the recipe and it is to die for. I also discovered that Campbell's makes a combination cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup in one can so you can have both flavors in this dish.

Tips
- Make sure to use a high-quality lasagna noodle that will hold up to the cooking process. A good option is a no-boil noodle, which will cook in the sauce and prevent the lasagna from becoming mushy.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. The recipe calls for a combination of ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella, but you could also use other cheeses that you like, such as cheddar, fontina, or Asiago.
- If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made Alfredo sauce. Just be sure to doctor it up with some fresh herbs and spices to give it more flavor.
- If you want to make the lasagna ahead of time, you can assemble it and then freeze it for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve it, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and then bake it according to the recipe instructions.
