Ingredients

    1 Tbsp olive oil
    1 16 oz ricotta cheese
    1 bag of shredded mozzarella cheese
    1 jar pasta sauce
    1 Zucchini, sliced lengthwise
    1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
    1 egg
    2 tbsp dries parsley
    1 10 oz bag spinach
    1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Tips

A mandoline is handy for slicing the zucchini.


Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a deep 9x13 inch baking pan.

Slice zucchini lengthwise into very thin slices. Sprinkle slices lightly with salt; set aside to drain in a colander.

Meanwhile, stir egg, ricotta, and parsley together in a bowl until well combined.

Sauté the bag of spinach with oil over medium heat, 5 minutes.

To assemble lasagna, spread 1/2 of the sauce into the bottom of prepared pan. Then layer 1/2 the zucchini slices, 1/2 the ricotta mixture, all of the spinach, followed by all of the mushrooms, then 1/2 the mozzarella cheese. Repeat by layering the remaining sauce, zucchini slices, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella. Spread Parmesan cheese evenly over the top; cover with foil.

Bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil; raise oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake an additional 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
