A hearty and healthy lasagna bake layered with creamy cottage cheese, sauteed mushrooms, and fresh spinach. This meatless comfort food is perfect for a cozy dinner.
Ingredients
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 5 ounces fresh spinach
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, eggs, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Spread 1 cup marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles, half of the cottage cheese mixture, half of the mushroom-spinach mixture, and 1/2 cup marinara sauce. Repeat layers. Top with remaining 3 noodles, remaining 1 cup marinara sauce, and remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
