2 tablespoons butter or margarine

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 1/3 cups milk

1/3 cup chicken broth

1 egg beaten

10 ounces frozen chopped spinach thawed and well drained

3/4 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Meanwhile, for sauce, in a medium saucepan cook green onions and garlic in butter until tender. Stir in flour. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Add Swiss cheese and broth, stirring until cheese melts. 3. For filling, in a medium bowl stir together egg, spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and lemon peel.
