Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Bring salted water to a boil and cook the no-boil lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Sauté the onions for 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add garlic.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet, cooking until moisture evaporates. Stir in chopped spinach and wilt.
  5. Spread a layer of marinara sauce in the baking dish, place noodles on top, add half of the ricotta, and half of the mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan.
  6. Repeat the layering process with remaining ingredients and finish with a layer of noodles topped with marinara sauce.
  7. Cover lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  8. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serve garnished with fresh basil.
