Notes

Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for a unique twist. Make the mushroom and spinach mixture ahead of time to speed up the assembly process. Ensure the lasagna noodles are not overcooked; they should be al dente as they’ll continue cooking in the oven. This lasagna can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and also frozen for up to 3 months.
