Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add 8 ounces of chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender and golden brown.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine 15 ounces of ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, and 3 cups of chopped spinach. Mix well.
  5. Layer in your baking dish, starting with a thin layer of the cheese-spinach mixture, followed by whole wheat lasagna noodles and sautéed mushrooms, repeating until all ingredients are used.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
  7. Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  8. Let the lasagna rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
