Description
A hearty lasagna combining mushrooms, spinach, and creamy cheeses, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Boil salted water in a large pot. Cook the lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 3–4 minutes, then add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender. Add the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts. Remove from heat.
- Spread a layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of your baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Layer half of the ricotta, half of the mushroom mixture, and a third of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Repeat these layers, finishing with a final layer of marinara sauce and the remaining cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the lasagna cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for added flavor and presentation.
