Ingredients:
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 cups white sauce (béchamel sauce)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become tender. This should take around 5 minutes.
Step 4: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Step 5: In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.
Step 6: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Spread a thin layer of the white sauce on the bottom of the dish.
Step 7: Arrange 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the noodles, followed by half of the mushroom and spinach mixture.
Step 8: Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the layers. Repeat this layering process with the remaining ingredients, ending with a layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 9: Pour the remaining white sauce over the lasagna, ensuring all the noodles are covered.
Step 10: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Step 11: Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the dish to set and become easier to slice.
