Ingredients

Scale

For the lasagna:

  • 12 lasagna noodles (regular or no-boil)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese

For the white sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven & cook noodles: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions (if using regular noodles). Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté veggies: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Cook mushrooms & spinach: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Make the white sauce: For the white sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until slightly golden.
  5. Add liquids & season: Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
  6. Prepare ricotta mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan. Stir in the mushroom-spinach mixture.
  7. Assemble the lasagna: To assemble, spread a thin layer of the white sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top. Add half of the ricotta-spinach-mushroom mixture, then pour over some white sauce. Repeat with another layer of noodles, the remaining ricotta-spinach-mushroom mixture, and more white sauce.
  8. Top with cheeses: Finish with a final layer of noodles, the remaining white sauce, and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  9. Bake the lasagna: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  10. Cool and serve: Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
