  • 9 pieces lasagna noodles (uncooked)

  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
Seasonings and Cooking Oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil for sautéing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the fresh spinach, stirring occasionally until wilted (around 2-3 minutes).
Assembly
  1. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom.
  2. Place 3 uncooked lasagna noodles on top. Add half of the ricotta cheese, half of the mushroom and spinach mixture, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and another layer of marinara sauce.
  3. Repeat the process until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of noodles, sauce, and a generous topping of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Baking
  1. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, consider using no-boil lasagna noodles. A sprinkle of fresh basil at the end can elevate the flavor. Avoid overcrowding the layers to maintain balance. Feel free to swap the mushrooms for other veggies like zucchini or eggplant.
