| 1. Stir Ricotta, and egg, add mozzarella cheese and 1/2 the parmesan. set aside. | 2. In a 2-qt. saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. | 3. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly for 2 to 3 minutes. | 4. Do not let the mixture brown. | 5. Slowly whisk in the hot milk and bring just to a simmer, whisking frequently. | 6. Reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking often, until the sauce has thickened to a creamy, gravy-like consistency and no longer tastes of raw flour, 6 to 8 minutes for a single batch, 10 to 12 minutes for a double batch. | 7. Remove from the heat and whisk in the salt, pepper, and nutmeg. | 8. If not using right away, transfer to a bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the sauce to keep a skin from forming. Plan to use the sauce within 30 minutes because it thickens if it’s left to sit for too long. If that should happen, add a little warm milk and whisk well to thin it. | 9. Arrange noodles in bottom of greased 12 x 7 1/2 inch baking dish. | 10. Top with half the Spinach mixture. | 11. Spoon on 1/2 the ricotta cheese mixture. | 12. Repeat lays and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. | 13. Bake covered in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, until slightly brown and mixture is bubbly. | 14. Let stand for 10 minutes. | 15. Serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
