  • Alfredo Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup butter

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
  2. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  4. Mix in heavy cream and bring it slowly to a simmer.
  5. Stir constantly and add freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and thickened.
  6. Cook the Lasagna Noodles:
  7. Boil a large pot of salted water.
  8. Add lasagna noodles one by one and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente.
  9. Drain and rinse under cold water. Lay them flat on a clean towel to prevent sticking.

  12. Add spinach and mushrooms, cooking until vegetables are tender. Set aside.
  13. Assemble the Lasagna:

  15. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce at the bottom of a baking dish.
  16. Place a layer of noodles over the sauce.
  17. Add more Alfredo sauce, followed by a layer of the meat and vegetable mixture, and sprinkle mozzarella and ricotta cheese.
  18. Repeat layers, ending with a generous topping of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  19. Bake the Lasagna:
  20. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  21. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  22. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and add more vegetables.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or meat options like shredded chicken or turkey.
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
