9 lasagna noodles uncooked
10 slices bacon crisply cooked and crumbled
3 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic finely chopped
3 tablespoons flour all-purpose
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon pepper
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 ¼ cups chicken broth
2 cups Italian cheese blend shredded
2 cups chicken chopped cooked
1 ½ cups sweet peas frozen

Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. Cook and drain lasagna noodles as directed on package. Reserve 2 tablespoons crumbled bacon for topping after baking.
Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic; cook about 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until golden. Stir in flour, salt and pepper; cook until thickened.
Stir in whipping cream and broth; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese. Remove from heat.
Spoon and spread 1/2 cup sauce in bottom of baking dish; top with 3 noodles.
Add chicken, remaining crumbled bacon and frozen peas to remaining sauce in saucepan. Spread one-third of the sauce mixture (slightly less than 2 cups) over noodles.
Top with 3 noodles. Repeat with one-third of the sauce mixture and remaining 3 noodles. Top with remaining sauce mixture.
Cover with foil. Bake 35 minutes; uncover, and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese and reserved bacon. Bake 8 to 10 minutes longer or until heated through and cheese is melted. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with chopped basil.
