Ingredients
  

Lasagna Ingredients
  • 9-12 sheets Lasagna noodles Depending on your dish size
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For sautéing
  • 2 cups Mushrooms, sliced Any variety, but cremini and button work well
  • 4 cups Spinach, fresh
  • 1 cup Ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups Marinara sauce Store-bought or homemade

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are browned and tender, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt for about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Remove from heat.
  4. In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with half of the mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until well combined.
Layering
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  2. Layer three lasagna noodles on top, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, half of the sautéed vegetables, and a layer of marinara sauce. Repeat this layer with another three noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, the remaining sautéed vegetables, and more marinara. Top with the final three noodles and the remaining marinara sauce.
  3. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
Baking
  1. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  2. Allow the lasagna to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For a creamier filling, mix in a little cottage cheese with the ricotta. Don’t shy away from adding your favorite herbs or spices to elevate the flavor. Watch the cook time closely to avoid overcooking the noodles, and let the lasagna rest after baking for a cleaner cut.
