PREPARATION:
Method

Spinach Mushroom Filling
- Place a medium-sized nonstick skillet on medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the onions and sauté until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the garlic and cook for 30 seconds before adding ½ tablespoon of olive oil, mushrooms and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- Continue to cook until mushrooms are soft and wilted, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add the spinach in batches until wilted, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the tomato sauce, vegetable stock, 3/4 teaspoon salt, black pepper and herbs and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and set aside.
Cheese Filling
- In a bowl, combine the remaining salt, cottage cheese, and nutmeg.
To Assemble
- Coat a 9.5" x 13" baking pan with cooking spray.
- Arrange lasagna noodles on the bottom of the pan until most of the surface area is covered, but the noodles are not overlapping.
- Spread a layer of the cottage cheese mixture, then the spinach mushroom filling, then 1/3 mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Repeat layers, ending with mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until cheese bubbles and is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
To Serve
- Cool at least 20 minutes before cutting.
