# Guide to Cooking:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the gluten-free lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of chicken broth on the bottom. Arrange four lasagna noodles evenly across the bottom, spread half of the chicken mixture over the noodles, then top with half of the sautéed spinach. Repeat layering with four noodles, the remaining chicken mixture, and spinach. Finish with the last four noodles on top.
07 -
Pour the remaining chicken broth evenly over the layered noodles. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese uniformly on top.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
