  • 8 oz Mushrooms Provide an earthy flavor base; substitute with your favorite vegetables if desired.
  • 10 oz Spinach Adds nutritional value and vibrant color; can be replaced with kale if you prefer.
  • 15 oz Ricotta Cheese Creates a creamy and rich texture; opt for cottage cheese for a lighter option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Mushroom And Spinach Lasagna
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they turn translucent.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, along with dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
  5. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Then, layer down a row of noodles, followed by half of the ricotta cheese, the mushroom and spinach mixture, and a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  7. Cover the assembled lasagna tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  8. Carefully remove the foil and return the lasagna to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Once done, take the Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna out of the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
