Ingredients

• 12 sheets lasagna noodles
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 16 ounces, sliced button mushrooms
• 4 cups baby spinach
• 2 cups ricotta cheese
• 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 4 cups marinara sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their moisture. Add the baby spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 2 cups of the shredded mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the grated Parmesan, and the egg. Season with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 7

Place 3-4 lasagna noodles in a single layer over the sauce (trim if necessary to fit). Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then add 1/3 of the mushroom and spinach mixture. Spoon 1 cup of marinara sauce on top.

Step 8

Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta, mushroom mixture, marinara) two more times, ending with a final layer of noodles and marinara sauce.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 10

Cover the dish with aluminum foil (tented slightly to avoid touching the cheese). Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 12

Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm!
