Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Cook the lasagna noodles in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and lay flat on a kitchen towel.
Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté mushrooms for about 5 minutes until golden.
Add minced garlic, spinach, and kale to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted.
Mix ricotta cheese, half the mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, and oregano in a bowl until smooth.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a layer of white sauce at the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer 3 noodles, half of the ricotta mixture, and half of the mushroom-greens mixture. Drizzle with more sauce.
Repeat layers, finishing with noodles, remaining sauce, and mozzarella on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Optionally garnish with red pepper flakes.

Notes

Allowing the lasagna to cool helps it set, making it easier to slice. Consider fresh herbs for added flavor!
