• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Lasagna Sheets

Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Spinach & Mushroom Filling

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft, then add garlic. Add mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and turn golden. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.

3. Make the Vegan White Sauce

In a saucepan, heat olive oil or vegan butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add plant milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until thickened. Stir in nutritional yeast, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

4. Assemble the Lasagna

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread a thin layer of white sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Layer noodles, mushroom-spinach mixture, and white sauce. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce on top.

5. Bake Until Golden

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden.

6. Rest & Serve

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set beautifully.
