Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking.
  • In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and lay flat on a kitchen towel.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in garlic and mushrooms, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until browned.
  • Add spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted (2-3 minutes). Sprinkle in oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Add nutmeg if using. Remove from heat.
  • In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese and egg until smooth. Fold in mozzarella and half of the Parmesan cheese.
  • In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara. Layer with 4 noodles, half the ricotta mixture, half the spinach-mushroom mixture, and a third of the remaining sauce. Repeat layers.
  • For the top layer, place remaining noodles, spread remaining sauce, and sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until bubbling and golden brown.
  • Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing to serve.

Notes

Allow the lasagna to rest before slicing for cleaner pieces. Adjust seasoning to taste before assembling.
