Equipment

  • large saucepan
  • baking dish
  • stove
  • Ladle
  • Cooking Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 lb lasagna noodles dried or ready-to-bake
  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil can substitute with butter or ghee
  • 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 can substitute with chicken or 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
 

Prepare Noodles

  • 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.
  • Lay noodles out in a single layer on a lightly oiled baking sheet to prevent sticking.

Make the Sauce

  • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Drizzle in olive oil.
  • Add onion and garlic to pan; cook for 1-2 minutes until onion softens.
  • Add sliced mushrooms; cook for 4-5 minutes until onion is translucent and mushrooms shrink.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Add flour to saucepan, stir, and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Gradually add vegetable stock, stirring to break up any lumps; bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes.
  • Add heavy cream to the sauce, return to a simmer, and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes.
  • Turn off heat and stir in spinach and ⅔ of parmesan cheese until melted.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if necessary.

Assemble the Lasagna

  • Preheat oven to 375°F if baking immediately.
  • Spread a thin layer of sauce in a baking dish. Layer with lasagna noodles, sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
  • Repeat until all noodles and sauce are used, topping with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
  • Bake lasagna for 30-40 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are browned.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

This recipe allows for customization with proteins or additional vegetables. You can use frozen spinach instead of fresh, and high-quality cheese is preferred for best melting. To make ahead, the lasagna freezes well.
