Ingredients
Scale
- 9 lasagna noodles

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Boil salted water in a large pot, cook the lasagna noodles to al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes, then add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender.
- Stir in the fresh spinach leaves and cook until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat.

- Repeat the layers: another 3 noodles, the rest of the ricotta, the rest of the mushroom filling, and another third of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Finish with the last layer of noodles, cover with the remaining marinara sauce, and top with the rest of the cheeses.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes, garnish with fresh basil, and serve warm.
