Ingredients

3 lasagna sheets read above---or use whatever noodles you normally use

1 bunch spinach, washed and chopped

1 container portobella mushrooms, sliced

2 cups ricotta cheese

2 1/2 cups buffalo mozarella cheese, shredded. Not easy to shred but put through processor. The 1/2 cup is for the top.

1 large egg, beaten

1/2 large onion, diced

1 can chopped tomatoes seasoned with garlic and Italian herbs

3 cups marinara sauce your own or your favorite. I love Victoria's Fra Diavolo

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

Spray olive oil

A few basil leaves for garnish, chopped into thin ribbons

Directions

1. In some hot oil, fry onion until tender. Add spinach (works best right after the spinach has been washed. Add red pepper flakes. When wilted, remove from heat and set aside. When cooled, squeeze out any excess liquid from the bulk of the cooked spinach.

2. To the same pan, fry garlic in hot oil until fragrant. Add mushrooms and salt. Cook until tender (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat, set aside and drain excess liquid.

3. In a bowl, add beaten egg to ricotta cheese. Now we're ready to assemble.

4. In a deep 9 x 9 pan or whatever pan you use, spray a little olive oil to the bottom, pour some marinara sauce to bottom of pan. This keeps the pasta from sticking.

5. Place sheet(s) into the pan. Layer with ricotta/egg mixture, spinach, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, and tomatoes and some sauce. Repeat with the other 2 layers

6. Pour remaining marinara sauce over the assembled lasagna.

7. Cover pan with foil and poke holes on top for some steam to escape. Place in 375*F oven for 45 minutes or until pasta is tender and liquid has dried significantly.

8. Pull from oven and sprinkle with 1/2 c. mozzarella and strips of basil. Put back in oven for 8 minutes-uncovered. Remove.

9. Please let lasagna set for a good 20 minutes. Serve with a side of the best garlic bread you can make.

********Please serve with a good Red Wine and a simple green salad.
