Lasagna with asparagus in the microwave oven

Description

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8–10 minutes. Drain the water and cut the lasagna sheets in half crosswise. Melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic just until fragrant. Add flour, stirring to eliminate lumps. Gradually pour in milk and season with thyme. Cook the sauce gently until thickened. Remove from heat. Grease a glass baking dish. Layer the lasagna, sauce, asparagus, ham, and mozzarella cheese in three layers, each beginning with lasagna and ending with grated cheese on top. Cover the dish and cook in the microwave on high power for 9–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Let stand for 5–10 minutes before serving.
