Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Boil salted water, cook the lasagna noodles to al dente, drain, and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté onion for 3–4 minutes, then add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper. Sauté until mushrooms are tender. Then, add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.

Assembly

  • Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Place 3 noodles on top, then add half the ricotta, followed by half the mushroom mixture, and a third of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
  • Repeat the layers, finishing with marinara sauce and remaining cheeses.

Baking

  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serving

  • Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes, garnish with fresh basil, and serve warm.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, bake in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through. Add other vegetables for extra flavor and nutrition.
