Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles, cooked
- 10 oz fresh spinach
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cups Alfredo sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Step-by-step Directions
1. Prep Spinach & Mushrooms
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5-6 minutes. Incorporate spinach and continue cooking until it wilts. Season this mixture with salt and pepper, then set aside for later use.
2. Layer Lasagna
In a greased 9×13 baking dish, begin by spreading a thin layer of Alfredo sauce. Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, and top with portions of the spinach-mushroom mixture, followed by dollops of ricotta, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and a dusting of Parmesan. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are utilized, ending with a final cover of Alfredo sauce and a generous amount of mozzarella cheese.
3. Bake
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the prepared lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the lasagna is bubbly and golden on top.
4. Serve
Once baked, allow the lasagna to cool for about 5 minutes. Cut into servings and garnish each with freshly chopped parsley before serving to enhance flavor and presentation.
