How to make Lasagna

ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: tofu

Cottage cheese is lower in fat, while tofu is a dairy-free option.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces calories and fat.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is a vegan alternative, while grana padano is a less expensive cheese.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Season with salt, black pepper, basil, and oregano; mix well.

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.

Layer lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the mushroom mixture.

Spread half of the ricotta cheese over the mushrooms, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

Repeat the layers: noodles, remaining mushroom mixture, remaining ricotta, and more mozzarella.

Top with a final layer of noodles, remaining tomato sauce, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
