Ingredients

For the Lasagna:

12 sheets lasagna noodles (uncooked)

4 cups fresh spinach (washed and chopped)

2 cups mushrooms (sliced, preferably cremini or button)

1 cup ricotta cheese

2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)

1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt (to taste)

Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Mushrooms and Spinach:
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Stir to combine with mushrooms. Set aside.
  7. Prepare the Ricotta Mixture:
  8. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, heavy cream, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
  9. Mix until smooth and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Assemble the Lasagna:
  11. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  12. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the ricotta mixture on the bottom.
  13. Add a layer of lasagna noodles over the ricotta mixture.
  14. Top with half of the spinach and mushroom mixture and a layer of mozzarella cheese.
  15. Repeat the layers: ricotta mixture, noodles, remaining spinach and mushrooms, and more mozzarella cheese.
  16. Finish with a final layer of noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  17. Bake the Lasagna:
  18. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  19. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  20. Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
