- 1 tsp dried oregano

For the béchamel

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If using boil-required gluten-free lasagna noodles, cook them in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions until just tender, then drain and lay flat on a lightly oiled sheet of parchment to prevent sticking. Skip this step if using oven-ready noodles.

Heat the garlic-infused oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the scallion green tops and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
