I got this recipe off a radio recipe show back in the early 80’s - this is my favorite and it’s always my birthday meal - I just ate a piece of leftovers - too good!
Spinach Mushroom Lasagna
1 lb Lasagna Noodles (I make 4 layers = 16)
2 - 10 ounce pkg Frozen Spinach
1 cup chopped Onions
2 cloves Garlic
12 ounces fresh Mushrooms
1 stick Butter
2 cups light cream
3 cups shredded Mozzarella
1/4 cup Flour
2 lbs Ricotta
3 eggs
1 cup Parmesan
1/3 cup chopped Parsley
Boil the noodles - set aside
Cook Spinach and drain well - set aside
Sauce:
In large skillet melt butter, add onions, mushrooms, garlic; cook until tender. Sprinkle flour over all, mix to incorporate. Gradually add the 2 cups of cream, stirring well. Cook 3-4 minutes until thick - add spinach-stir.
Cheese filling:
Combine ricotta, parmesan, 2 cups mozzarella, parsley and eggs - mix well.
Lightly grease 9X12 lasagna pan
One layer of noodles on bottom of pan
Spinach mixture - ricotta mixture - noodles - For 3-4 layers
Sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top
350’ oven for 35-40 minutes - remove, let rest for @10 min.
(If you see you are running out of sauce to fully coat the top layer -{I always get to that point} add some milk to make more of a sauce covering)
Happy Birthday!
