Ingredients
Scale
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 500 g (1 pound) mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 500 g (1 pound) fresh spinach
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 500 g (2 cups) ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 egg
- 800 g (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they’re tender and most of the moisture has evaporated.
- Stir in the spinach, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Cook until the spinach has wilted, then remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and the egg. Mix until well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of crushed tomatoes on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Lay 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, topping with half of the mushroom and spinach mixture.
- Pour 1/3 of the remaining crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce over the vegetables.
- Repeat the layering process with another 4 noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, and the mushroom-spinach mixture. Cover with another 1/3 of the tomato sauce.
- Place the final 4 noodles on top, cover with the remaining tomato sauce, and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. You can prepare the filling ahead of time for quicker assembly. Allow lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
