My mom makes the best lasagna - I used her recipe with whole wheat noodles!

Ingredients

  • 12 whole wheat lasagna noodles
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 15-oz. container ricotta cheese
  • 1-2 pkgs. shredded mozzarella cheese
  • grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 24-oz. jars pasta sauce (any kind)
  • 1 bag fresh spinach leaves
  • 8-10 mushrooms, chopped

Directions

Cook whole wheat noodles in boiling water according to package directions. Stir while cooking to prevent sticking. Drain noodles, lay flat and set aside. In a small or medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese with 2 eggs. Mix until soft and well blended and set aside.

Spread some of your pasta sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Lay three of your noodles lengthwise across the sauce. Layer with: ricotta cheese mixture, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, mushrooms, spinach, pasta sauce. Add three more noodles across the top and repeat the layering order two more times. End with three noodles on top. Add some more pasta sauce followed by mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.Bake for 45 minutes in a 350-degree oven. You can prepare the lasagna ahead of time and keep in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

  • Oh sounds really good. I like the idea of fresh spinach instead of frozen. I like to cut my spinach so it does not string or have the stems pull out of the bite. Does that make sense....... lol.
