Easy Creamy Spinach Mushroom Lasagna

Print Recipe

A comforting and delicious lasagna layered with creamy cheese, spinach, and mushrooms, perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
  • 2 cups mushrooms (sliced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk (warm)
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 9 lasagna noodles (no-boil or pre-cooked)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

Instructions

  1. Sauté your veggies: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they begin to brown, around 5-7 minutes. Toss in the minced garlic and chopped spinach, cooking until the spinach is wilted and the mixture is fragrant. Season with salt and pepper! Set it aside, and let those flavors mingle.
  2. Make the creamy sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to create a roux, stirring it for about 1-2 minutes until bubbly. Gradually pour in the warm milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring it to a gentle simmer, add in the nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper. Keep whisking until the sauce thickens (it should coat the back of a spoon).
  3. Assemble the lasagna: Grab a baking dish and spread a thin layer of the creamy sauce at the bottom (about ½ cup). Lay down three noodles (if you’re using no-boil, they can overlap slightly). Add half of the sautéed spinach and mushroom mixture evenly over the noodles, followed by a layer of ricotta cheese dollops, and a generous sprinkle of mozzarella. Drizzle some of the creamy sauce to add moisture.
  4. Repeat the layers: Continue layering by adding another three noodles, the remaining spinach-mushroom mix, more ricotta, a third of your mozzarella, and some creamy sauce. Finish off with the last layer of noodles, the remaining sauce, and top with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake to perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (try to avoid touching the cheese) and bake it for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden!

Notes

Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. For extra crunch, broil it on high for the last 2-3 minutes.
