For the Lasagna

  • 6 cups fresh spinach thaw and drain if using frozen
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
For the Béchamel Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons butter base fat for sauce
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour for thickening
  • 3 cups whole milk for a silky sauce
  • 1 pinch nutmeg optional for flavor
For the Cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Medium saucepan
  • 9x13 inch baking dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in 6 cups of fresh spinach, cooking until wilted for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, cooking for 2-3 minutes until light golden. Gradually whisk in 3 cups of whole milk, stirring constantly until sauce thickens and bubbles, around 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom. Layer 3 no-boil lasagna noodles over the sauce, then add half of the mushroom and spinach mixture, followed by another layer of béchamel and a sprinkle of 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat this process, finishing with a final layer of noodles, béchamel, and cheese on top.
  4. Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  5. Let the lasagna rest for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
