Ingredients

  • 1 (15 –16-ounce) container part-skim ricotta
  • 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed in paper towels to remove excess moisture
  • 1 garlic clove, very finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 1/4 cups grated mozzarella (about 9 ounces), divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (about 2 ounces), divided
  • 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 6 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 8 ounces crimini mushrooms, trimmed, sliced 1/4-inch thick, divided
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

Instructions

  1. Mix ricotta, spinach, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, if using, pepper, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, and 1/4 cup Parmesan in a large bowl.
  2. Spread 1/2 cup marinara evenly in bottom of baking dish. Top with 2 lasagna noodles. Coat noodles with 1/2 cup marinara. Top with half of the ricotta mixture and half of the mushrooms. Repeat with 2 noodles, 1/2 cup marinara, and remaining ricotta mixture and mushrooms.
  3. Top with remaining 2 noodles, sauce, and 3/4 cup mozzarella. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. Parmesan.
  4. Cover dish with parchment, then cover again with an overturned large microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high 15 minutes. Carefully check to see if noodles are tender; if not, re-cover and microwave in 1-minute bursts until tender.
