Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 5 cups Baby spinach
- 2 cups Cremini mushrooms
- 16 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
- 4 cups Marinara sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles. Remove the sausage and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook until softened, 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and combine the spinach and mushrooms with the cooked sausage.
In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, 1/2 cup of Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until well combined.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the sausage-spinach-mushroom mixture. Top with 1 cup of marinara sauce and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella.
Repeat the layers two more times, ending with a layer of marinara sauce on top. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
