This delicious dish combines earthy mushrooms, creamy spinach, and irresistible layers of cheese. Perfect for a cozy family dinner or impressing guests!
Ingredients
For the Layers:
- No-cook lasagna sheets (enough for 3-4 layers in an 8×8-inch baking dish)
- 1 ½ cups cottage cheese or ricotta
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for an extra kick)
For the Filling:
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced (e.g., button or cremini)
- 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and well-drained
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter for a richer flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Sauce:
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- A pinch of nutmeg (optional, for a warm, cozy flavor)
Instructions
1: Prepare the Filling
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes until softened.
- Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture.
- Stir in the spinach and Italian seasoning. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then set aside.
2: Prepare the Sauce
- In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and nutmeg (if using). Stir until smooth.
3: Assemble the Lasagna
- Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C).
- Spread a thin layer of sauce at the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Place a layer of lasagna sheets.
- Add a layer of mushroom-spinach filling, followed by dollops of cottage cheese or ricotta.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle a little sauce on top.
- Repeat the layers, finishing with a generous layer of sauce and cheese on top.
4: Bake the Lasagna
- Cover the dish with foil, tenting it slightly to avoid touching the cheese, and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
- For a crispy top, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
5: Let It Rest
- Allow the lasagna to rest for 8-10 minutes before slicing to let the layers set.
Serving Suggestions
Pair this lasagna with a simple green salad, roasted vegetables, or garlic bread. And don’t forget: it tastes even better the next day! 😊
