Ingredients

1 pound fresh spinach

1 pound fresh mushrooms, chopped coarsely

1 cup onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cups ricotta cheese

1 2/3 cups Parmesan cheese, divided

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

3/4 teaspoon dried basil

3/4 teaspoon dried oregano

16 lasagna noodles

4 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Marinara sauce or tomato-cream sauce as desired

Extra Parmesan cheese

Directions

Steam spinach until tender; press out excess moisture and chop

coarsely. Saute mushrooms, onions, and garlic over medium-high

heat in olive oil until onions are tender; drain excess liquid

and cool.

Mix ricotta cheese, 2/3 cup Parmesan, egg, salt, pepper, basil

and oregano in large bowl. Add cooled spinach and mushroom-onion

mixture and mix on low speed until just blended.

Cook lasagna according to package directions; rinse under cool

water and drain thoroughly.

Place four lasagna strips in bottom of lightly oiled 9 x 13-inch

pan, overlapping slightly. Top with 2 cups of spinach filling.

Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese and 1/3 cup Parmesan.

Repeat layering two more times and top with remaining four lasagna

strips. Spread 1 cup of marinara or tomato-cream sauce over top

and cover tightly with foil.

Preheat oven to 350F and bake, covered, for 1 hour. Remove from

oven and keep warm at least 30 minutes before cutting. Top with

extra Parmesan cheese. (Can be refrigerated a day in advance of

baking if desired.)

THank you so much for this recipe. I like vegan food for myself. I do eat fish not many meats

Thanks, I rarely eat fish except when I go to a restaurant that doesn't have anything a vegetarian can eat. I am a fool for Maine lobster, but haven't had one in years. :( But no meat at all, there are so many fake meats now and they are so close to the real thing, even hot dogs, that they keep me satisfied. I am training a horse right now, and he takes most of my time and ambition, so we have been eating lots of vegetarian quick meals. But I am a lover of Italian and Greek foods and as soon as I find time and energy left over, I intend to go back to cooking. Hope you enjoy the Florentine Lasagna, we think it's close to Olive Garden.
