Spinach and Mushroom Lasagna

Spinach Shroom Lasagna

I kinda have a thing with lasagna. Not going to lie. I love it. It’s a classic and there’s a reason things become classics. They’re GOOD. Alright better than good. They’re G-R-E-A-T. Now Tony Tiger is swimming around in my my head and I’m sure in yours as well. You’re welcome. I make my Lasagna alla Bolognese in the fall and winter.

It’s heavy, rich and begs to be made during colder weather when I need to be warmed up from my head to my toes. That doesn’t mean I don’t crave lasagna in the warmer months. I do. I just go a little different route.
Spinach Mushrooms

A spinach and ‘shroom route that is. This vegetable version of my beloved lasagna does the trick and is perfect for any Meatless Monday meal and beyond. What I love about lasagna (besides the obvious) is that it not only can be made ahead, it’s even better the next day. Yes leftovers they’re a good thing. Get on that train.

Spinach Shroom Lasagna

Another train to get on is the easy clean up train. I used Reynolds Non Stick Aluminum foil to make this meal. It’s magical. For a girl who hates dishes that’s high praise.

    Had to pin this lasagna with two of my favorite ingredients. Simple and
    wonderful. I love lasagna. Now with the no boil noodles I really really really love lasagna. Not sure what that made such a difference. No big deal to boil a noodle, but it did.

    Oh yum!! What a nice twist on the classic (and you’re RIGHT – Lasagne is a classic for a very good reason!!) Spinach and mushrooms happen to be some of my favorite foods so this is a total winner for me 🙂
