Spinach/Mushroom lasagna

Here are some photos of a pan of spinach and mushroom lasagna that I made last week. I used frozen spinach, fresh mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, tomato puree, ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Here's a link to a recipe for a similar lasagne from Elise Bauers Simply Recipes web site.

Except for the large picture of the finished product, the pictures are in chronological order. First you cook the spinach/mushroom filling. As it cooks, mash the ricotta cheese. Put a layer of tomato slices or tomato puree in a lasagne pan. Arrange layers of lasagna noodles, spinach filling, and mashed ricotta over that. My lasagne had three layers. The top layer is noodles, sauce, and rough cubes of mozzarella (looks like popcorn but it isn't). Bake for 30 or 40 minutes until the cheese has melted and browned.

  2. Oh Ken this looks so good. I never thought of using spinach - I'm sure it's a great savory addition to a lasagna.

    1. I wonder if spinach lasagna is a French thing. Though Elise Bauer has a recipe for it on Simply Recipes.

  3. Oh, that looks delicious.
    I made cheese-stuffed pasta shells for Christmas this year, and and I bought whole-milk Ricotta for part of the cheese stuffing. I don't often use Ricotta. I was surprised that this little tub of Ricotta was very liquidy... I expected it to be drier than, say, cottage cheese... and, you're saying that you mashed your Ricotta. Any idea why mine might have been so loose and liquidy Ken?

    1. No, I don't know. The ricotta I get here has the texture of cream cheese.
