Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in minced garlic, carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooked noodles and sautéed vegetables to the mixing bowl. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the mozzarella cheese on top.
In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Vegetarian Noodle Casserole!
