Ingredients Galore!
Before you summon the food gods and get cooking, here’s what you’ll need to make this mouthwatering masterpiece:
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that you’ve got your ingredients ready, let’s jump into the culinary adventure of assembling this cheesy delight!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). You want it nice and hot, just like your oven’s attitude toward leftovers!
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. You don’t want goopy lasagna, do you?
- In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with some salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. Go ahead, get your hands in there—this is where the magic starts!
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, just enough to keep things from sticking more than a cat to a sunbeam!
- Layer three lasagna noodles over the sauce. Top with half of the ricotta mixture, followed by a layer of spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat this layering process once more, ending with the remaining noodles.
- Pour the rest of the marinara sauce over the last layer of noodles and then sprinkle that glorious Parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil (to keep the steam in) and bake for about 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until bubbly and golden on top. Just like your hopes when you attempt to parallel park!
- Let it rest for 10 minutes before diving in. It’ll be worth the wait, trust me!
Now, slice yourself a piece, grab a fork, and enjoy every cheesy bite. Your taste buds are about to thank you profusely!
