The Ultimate Mushroom Lasagna

Check this out, folks! Just look at this deliciousness waiting for us.

Ingredients:

• 9 lasagna noodles
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 16 oz mushrooms, sliced (mix it up with a variety if you like!)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 15 oz ricotta cheese
• 1 egg
• 4 cups spinach (fresh or frozen, just squeeze out that excess water)
• 3 cups marinara sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1. First things first, preheat that oven to 375°F (190°C). You want it nice and hot.
2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them and set aside – no sticking now!
3. In a large skillet, heat your olive oil over medium heat. Add in the onion and sauté until it’s translucent (about 5 minutes).
4. Add the garlic, mushrooms, oregano, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms are browned and have released their juices, about 7-10 minutes.
5. In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Then fold in those beautiful greens – spinach will add a lovely color and taste!
6. Now it’s assembly time! In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Layer 3 noodles over the sauce, then spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top it with half of the mushroom mixture and a sprinkle of mozzarella.
7. Keep layering: more marinara sauce, another three noodles, the rest of the ricotta, the remaining mushrooms, and half of the mozzarella.
8. Finish it off with the last three noodles, a generous coating of marinara on top, the rest of the mozzarella, and sprinkle that parmesan like you mean it!
9. Cover the dish with aluminum foil (don’t let it touch the cheese), and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until it’s bubbly and golden.
10. Let it rest for about 10 minutes before digging in. Trust us, it's worth the wait!

And there you have it – the ultimate mushroom lasagna that’ll have everyone coming back for more! Serve it up with a fresh salad on the side, and you’ve got a feast fit for a king or queen. Enjoy, y'all!
