– 2 cups ricotta cheese for creaminess and protein

Instructions
1-First Step: Prepare Your Ingredients Start by gathering and prepping all items to make the process smooth. Chop the shallots or onion and mince the garlic, then rehydrate the dried mushrooms in warm water for 15 minutes. This mushroom lasagna recipe begins with fresh, quality ingredients to ensure even cooking.
2-Second Step: Cook the Mushroom Mixture Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots or onion and garlic, cooking for 5 minutes until soft. Stir in the 1 pound of cremini mushrooms and the rehydrated dried porcini, cooking for another 10 minutes to develop flavors for your mushroom lasagna with creamy sauce.
3-Third Step: Assemble the Layers Spread a thin layering of sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna noodles followed by the mushroom mixture, ricotta cheese, and fresh herbs. Repeat the layers, ending with sauce and grated Parmesan on top, adapting as needed for dietary preferences like vegan options.
4-Fourth Step: Bake the Lasagna Preheat your oven to 375Β°F. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for 10 more minutes until bubbly. This step ensures your mushroom lasagna with fresh herbs has a golden top and tender interior.
5-Final Step: Rest and Serve Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before cutting to allow flavors to set.
