  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

  1. Cook Lasagna Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add Spinach and Chicken: Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Stir in the shredded chicken, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
  4. Combine Ricotta: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
  5. Layer Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place three lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the chicken and vegetable mixture, and a third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining noodles, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
  6. Bake Lasagna: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Cool and Slice: Allow the lasagna to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
