Instrucțiuni

1. To make the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, mushrooms and onion.

2. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender. Whisk in flour until lightly browned. Gradually whisk in milk, and cook, stirring until slightly thickened. Stir in basil and oregano until fragrant, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread 1 cup mushroom sauce onto the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish; top with 3 lasagna noodles, ½ of the ricotta (or cottage) cheese, ½ of the spinach and broccoli (enough to cover the pan in a layer), 1 cup mozzarella cheese and ¾ cup Parmesan.

4. Repeat with a second layer.

5. Top with remaining noodles, mushroom sauce, and cheeses.

6. Bake 35-45 minutes, or until bubbling. Then broil 2-3 minutes or until top is browned in spots.

7. Let cool 15 minutes.

Note

From Rachel:

Despite me adding more and fresher vegetables than originally called for, this is very much a comfort dish that will be heavy in the gut if you eat too much, due to all the cheese. I still encourage eating too much. The original recipe called for ricotta, but cottage cheese is cheaper and has more flavor, in my opinion.
