Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Béchamel: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter until bubbling. Whisk in 1/4 cup of flour, cooking for about 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually add 2 cups of milk while continuously whisking until thickened. Season with a pinch of nutmeg.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, sauté 2 minced garlic cloves for 30 seconds, then add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms. Cook until tender, then add 4 cups of fresh spinach and stir until wilted.
  3. Layer the Lasagna: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13-inch baking dish, start with a layer of béchamel sauce, followed by lasagna noodles, half of the sautéed vegetable mixture, and a combination of sauces and cheeses. Repeat layers, ending with béchamel and cheese on top.
  4. Bake the Lasagna: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Rest & Serve: Let the lasagna sit for about 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired before slicing.
