Vegetarian Spinach Lasagna
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
  • 2/3 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cups tomato pasta sauce
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary ingredients for the dish.
2
First, preheat your oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
3
Next, fill a large container with salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they reach the ideal level of doneness; drain them thoroughly.
4
While the noodles are cooking, heat a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms, chopped onions, and minced garlic to the pan and cook until the onions are tender; remove any excess liquid and let them cool down.
5
At the same time, bring a small amount of water to a boil in another pot; add fresh spinach leaves and let them simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the water, cool down slightly, and squeeze out any remaining liquid before finely chopping them.
6
In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded Romano cheese, an egg, salt, dried oregano, chopped basil, and pepper.
7
Add the cooled mushroom mixture to the ricotta-spinach mixture and blend it using an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute.
8
Arrange 5 lasagna noodles in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread one-third of the ricotta-spinach mixture over noodles, followed by 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
9
Spread a generous amount of pasta sauce over the top layer. Repeat this process two more times, covering each layer with aluminum foil.
10
Finally, bake the dish in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove it from the oven after 15 minutes of cooling, and serve.
