Equipment

  • large saucepan
  • baking dish
  • Cooking pot

Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 lb lasagna noodles dried or ready-to-bake
  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or butter or ghee if preferred
  • 0.5 large yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb baby portobello mushrooms sliced
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 0.25 cup flour
  • 1.75 cups vegetable stock or chicken/turkey stock
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1.5 cups shredded parmesan cheese divided
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese thinly sliced or shredded
  • 0.25 cup chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Get the Noodles Ready

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

Make the Sauce

  • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Drizzle in the olive oil.
  • Add onion and garlic to the pan and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until onion has begun to soften.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, 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.
  • Add vegetable stock to the pan a little at a time, stirring to break up lumps of flour. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until sauce has thickened.
  • Add heavy cream to sauce and stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 8-10 minutes until desired consistency is reached.
  • Turn off the heat, then add spinach and ⅔ of the parmesan cheese. Stir until spinach has wilted and cheese has melted into the sauce.
  • Taste the sauce and add extra kosher salt or pepper as needed.

Assemble the Lasagna

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Spread a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a medium-sized baking dish. Layer lasagna noodles, sauce, and mozzarella cheese repeatedly until ingredients are used up.
  • Top the final layer with mozzarella cheese and remaining parmesan.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes until cheese has melted and edges are lightly browned.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Top with fresh parsley, cut, and enjoy.

Notes

This lasagna can be frozen or refrigerated. To bake from a cold state, adjust timing accordingly. Optionally, add proteins like chicken or turkey, or veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms for variation.
