Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Saucepan
  • Skillet
  • Baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 8 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups chopped spinach
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cook the lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted water until just tender, then drain and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for one minute. Stir in the flour and cook for another minute to form a roux.
  • Slowly whisk in the milk. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Remove from heat.
  • In a skillet, lightly cook the sliced zucchini and mushrooms until softened. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook just until wilted.
  • Spread a thin layer of white sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Add a layer of noodles, then half the ricotta, half the vegetables, and more sauce. Repeat the layers once more.
  • Top with the remaining noodles and sauce. Sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbly. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use part-skim ricotta if you want a slightly lighter result. Leftovers reheat well in the oven at 350 degrees with a splash of milk added to keep the sauce creamy. You can assemble the lasagna up to a day ahead and bake it when ready.
