Equipment

  • large saucepan
  • Baking Dish
  • cutting board
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

Noodles

  • ½ lb lasagna noodles (dried or ready-to-bake)

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (or butter or ghee if preferred)
  • ½ large yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb baby portobello mushrooms, sliced
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1.75 cups vegetable stock (or chicken or turkey stock)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1.5 cups shredded parmesan cheese (divided)
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced or shredded
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Get the Noodles Ready

  • If 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.
  • Lay the noodles out in a single layer on a lightly oiled baking sheet to keep them from sticking.
  • 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 the onion has begun to soften.
  • Add sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until the onion is translucent and mushrooms have reduced in size.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine.
  • Add flour to the saucepan and stir. Let cook for 30 seconds.
  • Gradually add vegetable stock, stirring to break up any lumps of flour. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes until sauce has thickened.
  • Add heavy cream to the sauce and stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 8-10 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, then add spinach and ⅔ of the parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir until spinach has wilted.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as necessary.

Assemble the Lasagna

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

Notes

This lasagna can be customized with additional proteins or vegetables as desired. Use frozen spinach if preferred. Can be made ahead and stored in the freezer.
