Ingredients
  

Lasagna Ingredients
  • 9 pieces lasagna noodles (uncooked)
  • 2 cups chopped mushrooms (your choice—button, cremini, or a mix for extra flair!)
  • 1 cup cooked ham, diced (the star of the show!)
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 24 oz marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade, no judgment here!)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (and you can adjust to your taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (because we want to feel fancy)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and golden. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms with the diced ham, ricotta cheese, and half of the mozzarella. Mix until well incorporated.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of your baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spoon in half of the ricotta mixture and spread it gently. Add another layer of marinara sauce on top. Repeat with another layer of noodles, the remaining cheese mixture, and another layer of marinara sauce.
  2. For the final layer, top with 3 more noodles, the rest of the marinara, and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
  3. Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Serving
  1. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before cutting. Enjoy every cheesy, meaty, mushroomy bite!

Notes

Don’t stress if your sauce seems a little lumpy—that’s just the love bubbling away! If you’re feeling adventurous, add some spinach or zucchini for an extra veggie boost. Leftover lasagna tastes even better the next day.
