Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced

10 ounces fresh spinach, coarsely chopped

½ cup ricotta cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg, lightly beaten

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce

9 no-boil lasagna noodles

8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms for 5–7 minutes until softened and browned. Add spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix ricotta, Parmesan, egg, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until combined.
  4. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Add 3 lasagna noodles, then spread half of the ricotta mixture, followed by half of the mushroom-spinach mixture, and one-third of the mozzarella cheese.
  5. Repeat with another layer of noodles, remaining ricotta, remaining mushroom-spinach mixture, and another third of the mozzarella.
  6. Top with final 3 noodles, remaining marinara sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use thawed frozen spinach—just squeeze out excess water.
  • Try fresh mozzarella slices on top for extra creaminess.
  • Add fresh herbs like basil or oregano between layers for more flavor.
  • Swap mushrooms for a mix like shiitake or portobello for deeper flavor.
  • Use cottage cheese in place of ricotta for a lighter option.
