Ingredients
- For the Veggie Layer:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- For the Cheesy Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Lasagna:
- 9 lasagna noodles, cooked
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Heat things up in the kitchen by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Prepare the Veggie Layer
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant, then toss in mushrooms. Cook until tender. Add spinach and watch it wilt into deliciousness. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Cheesy Sauce
In another saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth, then slowly add milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. When it thickens, mix in ricotta and mozzarella cheeses. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the cheese sauce. Layer 3 lasagna noodles, half of the veggie mix, and more cheese sauce. Repeat with another set of noodles, the rest of the veggies, and sauce. Top with the final layer of noodles and cheese sauce. Sprinkle Parmesan over the top for that golden finish.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden. Let it cool slightly—it’s worth the wait!
Step 6: Serve
Slice, serve, and watch everyone fall in love at first bite!
