Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna is a rich, creamy, indulging recipe combined with the goodness of spinach and mushrooms! Make a big batch since its a freezer friendly and kid friendly recipe.
Preheat oven to 350F. In a pot boil water and to it add the lasagna sheets. Cook as per package instruction around 8 minutes. Drain, wash with cold water to prevent them from cooking further and keep aside.
To make the mushroom and spinach filling:
In a saute pan add the butter and oil. Once butter has melted add the garlic and saute for a minute. Make sure not to burn the garlic or else it will turn bitter. Then add the onions and saute till translucent.
Next add the mushrooms and cook till they shrink and start oozing water. Add salt, pepper and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Then add the spinach and once its softens add the oregano and basil leaves. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the Spinach is almost cooked. The filling is ready! Keep aside.
To Layer the Lasagna
In a 9X13 baking dish, spread half of the Alfredo Sauce at the bottom. spread evenly and top it with lasagna noodles. Add as many noodles as required to cover the dish, I used 2 and half.
Then top it with half of the ricotta cheese followed by half of the spinach mushroom filling, 1 cup mozzarella and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon parsley.
Next layer will be noodles, remaining half ricotta cheese, mushroom spinach filling, 1 cup mozzarella, ¼ cup parmesan and 1 teaspoon parley.
Last layer is noodles, half of the Alfredo Sauce, 1 and ½ cups mozzarella, ½ cup Parmesan and 1 teaspoon parsley.
Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until the cheese has melted. Broil on high for 2 mins for browning the cheese. Slice and serve warm with sprinkle of chilli flakes if required. Enjoy!!
