Sausage & Swiss Chard Lasagna

• 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
• 1-3/4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 bunch Swiss chard (about 10 ounces)
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups 2% milk
• 1 cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese, divided
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 6 no-cook lasagna noodles

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. In a large skillet, cook sausage, mushrooms and garlic over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink and mushrooms are tender, breaking up sausage into crumbles. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon. Remove drippings.
2. Remove stems from Swiss chard; coarsely chop leaves. In same skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Add 3/4 cup cheese, parsley, oregano, lemon zest, salt and pepper; stir until cheese is melted. Stir in Swiss chard leaves.
3. Spread one-fourth of the cheese sauce into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Layer with each of the following: two noodles, one-third of the meat mixture and one-fourth of the cheese sauce. Repeat layers twice. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
4. Bake, covered, 45 minutes. Bake, uncovered, 8-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
5. Cool unbaked lasagna; cover and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Cover lasagna with foil; bake as directed, increasing covered time to 55-60 minutes or until heated through and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165u0b0. Uncover; bake 10-12 minutes longer or until bubbly.
