Equipment

  • large saucepan
  • baking dish
  • Pot
  • baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 lb. lasagna noodles dried or ready-to-bake
  • 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil or butter or ghee
  • 0.5 large yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb. baby portobello mushrooms sliced
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 0.25 cup flour
  • 1.75 cups vegetable stock or chicken/turkey stock
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1.5 cups shredded parmesan cheese divided
  • 8 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese thinly sliced or shredded
  • 0.25 cup chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Get the Noodles Ready

  • If you're 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.

Make the 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 to ensure the flour cooks through.
  • Add the vegetable stock to the pan gradually, stirring to break up lumps of flour. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes.
  • Add heavy cream to sauce and stir to combine. Return sauce to a simmer and cook 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 and cheese has melted.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed.

Assemble the Lasagna

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