Equipment

  • large saucepan
  • Medium-sized baking dish
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

Noodles and Cheese

  • ½ lb. lasagna noodles dried or ready-to-bake
  • 1.5 cups shredded parmesan cheese divided
  • 8 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese thinly sliced or shredded

Vegetables and Sauce

  • 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil can substitute with butter or ghee
  • ½ large yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb. baby portobello mushrooms sliced
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1.75 cups vegetable stock can substitute with chicken or turkey stock
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Get the Noodles Ready

  • If you're using dried lasagna noodles, cook them according to package directions in very salty water until 5 minutes less than al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • If you're using ready-to-bake noodles, you can skip this step.

Make the Sauce

  • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, drizzle in the olive oil.
  • Add onion and garlic to pan and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until onion has begun to soften.
  • Add sliced mushrooms to pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until onion is translucent and mushrooms have reduced in size.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine.
  • Add flour to saucepan and stir to combine. Let cook for 30 seconds to ensure the flour cooks through.
  • Add the vegetable stock to the pan a little at a time, stirring to break up any lumps of flour. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes until sauce has begun to thicken.
  • Add heavy cream to sauce and stir to combine. Return sauce to a simmer and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until sauce has thickened.
  • Turn off the heat, then add spinach and ⅔ of the parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir until spinach has wilted and cheese has melted into the sauce.
  • Taste the sauce! Add extra salt or pepper as needed.

Assemble the Lasagna

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Spread a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a medium-sized baking dish.
  • Put down a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by sauce, then slices of mozzarella cheese. Repeat until you run out of noodles and sauce.
  • Top the final layer with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes until cheese has melted and edges are lightly browned.
  • Let lasagna cool for 10 minutes before serving. Top with fresh parsley, cut, and enjoy.

Notes

This recipe can be customized with proteins or extra vegetables. Adjust the sauce for ready-to-cook noodles if necessary. Great for make-ahead meals.
