Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once frothy, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Gradually whisk in flour, cooking until a roux forms.
- Add the half and half and whole milk slowly, whisking continuously until thickened; about 5–7 minutes. Stir in grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Stir in minced garlic, cooking for another minute before adding spinach. Cook until wilted.
- In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Add in the egg and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in sautéed mushrooms and spinach.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil. Spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce. Layer lasagna noodles, half of the cheese filling, and béchamel sauce. Repeat and finish with noodles topped with remaining béchamel and cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for about 15 minutes before slicing to allow the layers to set.
