Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 10 ounces fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 9 lasagna noodles (no-boil recommended)
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Sauté mushrooms and spinach: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened and browned. Add the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Make ricotta mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Assemble lasagna: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the dish.
- Layer lasagna: Place three lasagna noodles on top of the sauce (if using no-boil noodles, just place them dry). Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with half of the spinach and mushroom mixture and one-third of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers: noodles, ricotta, spinach/mushroom, and mozzarella. Top with a final layer of noodles and the remaining marinara sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through.
- Let rest: Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to serve.
Notes
- Mushrooms: You can use other types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or portobello, instead of cremini mushrooms.
- Spinach: You can use frozen spinach instead of fresh spinach. Make sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
- Ricotta Cheese: Whole milk ricotta cheese will give the lasagna a richer flavor.
- Mozzarella Cheese: Fresh mozzarella cheese is a great choice for this lasagna.
- Marinara Sauce: You can use store-bought marinara sauce or make your own.
- No-Boil Noodles: Using no-boil lasagna noodles makes this recipe even easier.
