Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups mushrooms, thinly sliced (button, cremini, or a mix)
  • 5 cups fresh spinach, chopped (or 2 cups frozen, thawed, and drained)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional, for a warm, earthy flavor)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Sauce:

  • 3 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

For Assembly:

  • 9 lasagna noodles (use no-boil or cooked according to package instructions)
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Stir in garlic and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown, about 8 minutes.
  4. Add spinach, oregano, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and any excess liquid evaporates. Set aside.

Step 2: Mix the Cheese

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, 1 cup of mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.

Step 3: Assemble the Lasagna

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spread ½ cup marinara sauce at the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  3. Lay 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.
  4. Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture, followed by the spinach and mushroom filling, and a layer of marinara sauce.
  5. Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta, filling, marinara) two more times.
  6. Finish with a final layer of noodles, remaining marinara sauce, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  3. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Make it Creamier: Add a béchamel sauce layer for extra richness.
  • Add Protein: Include cooked chicken or turkey for a heartier version.
  • Go Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free lasagna noodles for a celiac-friendly dish.
