Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add lasagna noodles and cook until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Then drain and rinse with cold water.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, followed by sliced mushrooms, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Finally, add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  4. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the greased baking dish. Layer in noodles, dollops of ricotta, mushroom and spinach filling, and mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Repeat until you run out of ingredients, finishing with sauce and cheese on top.
  5. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.
  6. Allow the lasagna to rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
