Ingredients
Lasagna noodles – Regular or oven-ready
Olive oil – For sautéing the vegetables
Mushrooms – Cremini or button, sliced thin for even cooking
Garlic – Fresh minced for flavor depth
Fresh spinach – Baby spinach works best for tenderness
Ricotta cheese – Adds creaminess to the layers
Mozzarella cheese – Shredded for gooey melt
Parmesan cheese – For sharp, savory flavor
Milk or cream – To create a creamy béchamel sauce
Flour – Thickens the sauce
Butter – For a rich base in the sauce
Salt & pepper – To taste
Optional herbs – Basil, oregano, or parsley for added freshness
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions if not using oven-ready. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until softened and golden. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Toss in spinach and stir until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a saucepan, melt butter, then whisk in flour to form a roux. Slowly whisk in milk or cream, cooking until thickened. Stir in Parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of sauce, followed by noodles, mushroom-spinach mixture, ricotta, and mozzarella. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce and mozzarella on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
For extra flavor, add caramelized onions or roasted peppers between layers.
