Directions

• 1 Before Cooking Preheat oven to 425 degrees Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry Prepare a baking sheet with foil Prepare a casserole dish with cooking spray Place a colander in the sink Boil the Noodles Add noodles to boiling water and cook until pliable and al dente, 7-8 minutes. Drain in colander and transfer to a plate. Toss gently with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, spread into a single layer, and allow to cool. This makes noodles easier to work with. While noodles boil, prepare ingredients. 2 Prepare the Ingredients Cut mushrooms into ¼" slices. Combine ricotta, basil pesto (reserve ½ tsp. for garnish), and half the mozzarella (reserve remaining for topping lasagna) in a medium mixing bowl. 3 Cook the Vegetables Line a plate with a paper towel. Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms to hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and slightly softened, 3-4 minutes. Add spinach, ½ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper, and cook until just beginning to wilt, 1 minute. Transfer to towel-lined plate to cool. Set aside four mushroom slices to top lasagna. 4 Assemble the Lasagna Place casserole dish on prepared baking sheet, to collect drips. Add ¼ the cream and a layer of noodles to casserole (halve to fit, if needed). Top with half the vegetable mixture, dot surface with half the ricotta mixture, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Repeat entire process. Top with a third layer of noodles, then add remaining cream. Top with remaining mozzarella and reserved mushroom slices. 5 Bake the Lasagna Spray a piece of foil with cooking spray and cover dish. Bake until bubbly, 25-30 minutes. Remove foil, switch oven to broiler, and broil until top is brown and bubbly, 3-5 minutes. Broiler heat levels vary, so watch lasagna closely to avoid burning! 6 Finish Lasagna and Plate the Dish Top lasagna with reserved basil pesto. Rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
