Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

ingredients
12 lasagne noodles, uncooked
1 pound boneless chicken breasts, diced
3 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1/2 cup sliced spring onions
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed and drained
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups skim milk
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/4 teaspoon ground red cayenne pepper
1 container (15 ounce size) low-fat ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 cup grated reduced-fat Swiss cheese
directions
Prepare pasta according to package directions.
Spray a Dutch oven or large skillet with cooking spray. Place over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken and saute 4 minutes or until cooked through. Drain well and set aside.
Re-coat Dutch oven with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add mushrooms, carrots and onions. Saute for 6 minutes. Set aside.
Place flour in a medium saucepan. Gradually add milk, stirring with a wire whisk until blended, then stir in sherry. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.
Stir in salt and red pepper. Reserve one cup of sauce and set aside.
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese and Swiss cheese.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread 1 cup of the sauce over the bottom of a 13- x 9- x 2-inch pan. Arrange 4 pieces of the lasagne (3 lengthwise, 1 width-wise) over the sauce.
Top with half of ricotta cheese mixture, half of chicken mixture and half of remaining sauce mixture. Repeat layers, ending with 4 pieces of lasagne. Spread reserved 1 cup of sauce over the last complete layer of lasagne, being sure to cover the lasagne completely.
Cover lasagne with foil and bake for 1 hour. Uncover lasagne, sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese on top and bake an additional 5 minutes uncovered. Re-cover and let stand 15 minutes before serving.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
