Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture, about 10 minutes.
3. Add garlic to the mushrooms and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with half of the Parmesan cheese.
5. Pour a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place three lasagna sheets on top.
6. Layer half of the mushroom-spinach mixture over the pasta. Spread half of the ricotta mixture on top, followed by a layer of marinara sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella.
7. Repeat layering process with the remaining ingredients, finishing with a generous layer of mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan on top.
8. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
9. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
