Very creamy: this is the word that in my opinion explains the taste of this particular lasagna.
Roasted chicken with vegetables releases an irresistible taste ideal if combined with the delicacy of the béchamel and the spinach freshness.
In short, if you are planning a lunch with guests, the right opportunity has come to try it!
