Cooking Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté them for 2 minutes or until they start to just become translucent. Add the chopped mushrooms and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic, spinach, red pepper flakes, and nutmeg. Sauté for just a minute or so until all the ingredients are well mixed together. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, and parmesan cheese. Add the spinach mixture to the ricotta and stir to combine.
  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spread a little bit of tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan. Layer with 3 lasagna noodles, ½ of the spinach mixture, ⅓ of the tomato sauce, and ⅓ of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat until all the layers are formed. Ending with noodles, sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake covered for 20 minutes and then uncovered for 10 more minutes. Let stand for 10-15 minutes so that the lasagna noodles can soak up all the extra deliciousness. Cut and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
