Ingredients

  • 15 lasagna noodles

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms

  • 1 cup chopped onions

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 2 cups fresh spinach

  • 3 cups ricotta cheese

  • â…” cup grated Romano cheese

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 3 cups tomato pasta sauce

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

  3. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onions, and garlic and cook until onions are tender; drain excess liquid and cool.

  4. At the same time, bring a small pot of water to a boil; add spinach and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and cool slightly; squeeze out any excess liquid and finely chop.

  5. Combine ricotta cheese, Romano cheese, egg, salt, oregano, basil, and pepper in a bowl. Add cooled mushroom mixture and spinach; beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute.

  6. Lay 5 lasagna noodles in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta-spinach mixture over noodles, then sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese. Spread 1 cup pasta sauce over top. Repeat layers two more times, then cover with aluminum foil.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Cool 15 minutes before serving.
