Sausage Lasagna with Spinach and Mushrooms Recipe
Sausage Lasagna with Spinach and Mushrooms has layers of rich marinara, savory Italian sausage, earthy mushrooms, tender spinach, and creamy cheeses, all melded together in a bubbling, golden-brown masterpiece.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons whole-milk cottage cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
- 1 pound hot or sweet Italian sausage, casings removed, sausage crumbled into ½-inch pieces
- 10 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and sliced thin
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 1 24-ounce jar marinara sauce
- 6 no-boil lasagna noodles
- 2 cups shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Mix cottage cheese, Parmesan, garlic powder, and ¼ tsp pepper.
- Combine sausage, mushrooms, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until sausage is no longer pink and mushrooms release liquid, about 9 mins. Stir in spinach and microwave until wilted, about 1 min. Drain mixture, pressing to remove moisture.
- Grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Spread 1 cup marinara sauce, lay 2 noodles on top, then half the sausage mixture, half the cottage cheese mixture, and ½ cup mozzarella.
- Repeat layers with 2 more noodles, 1 cup marinara, remaining sausage mixture, remaining cottage cheese mixture, and ½ cup mozzarella. Top with final 2 noodles, remaining marinara, and last 1 cup mozzarella.
- Cover dish with greased aluminum foil, bake until bubbling, about 30 mins. Uncover and bake until cheese is spotty brown, 10-15 mins.
- Cool for 15 mins and serve.
