Equipment

  • large saucepan
  • medium-sized baking dish
  • baking sheet

Ingredients
  

Noodles

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

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (or butter or ghee)
  • ½ large yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb baby portobello mushrooms sliced
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1.75 cups vegetable stock (or chicken/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
 

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.

Make Sauce

  • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, drizzle in the olive oil.
  • Add onion and garlic to pan and stir to combine. Cook 1-2 minutes until onion has begun to soften.
  • Add sliced mushrooms to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until onion is translucent and mushrooms have reduced in size.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine.
  • Add flour to saucepan and stir to combine. Let cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the vegetable stock to the pan a little at a time, stirring as you go. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes until sauce has begun to thicken.
  • Add heavy cream to sauce and stir to combine. Return sauce to a simmer and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until thickened.
  • Turn off the heat, then add spinach and ⅔ of the parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir until spinach has wilted and cheese has melted.
  • Taste the sauce and add extra salt or pepper as needed.

Assemble Lasagna

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Spread a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a medium-sized baking dish.
  • Put down a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by sauce and mozzarella cheese. Repeat until you run out of noodles and sauce.
  • Top the final layer with remaining mozzarella cheese and parmesan.
  • Bake lasagna for 30-40 minutes until cheese has melted and edges are lightly browned.
  • Let lasagna cool for 10 minutes before serving. Top with fresh parsley and enjoy.

Notes

This lasagna can be frozen or made ahead. Use 2 cups frozen spinach in place of fresh if desired. For a healthier twist, swap heavy cream with Magic Cauliflower Cream.
