Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Béchamel: Melt butter in a medium saucepan, then whisk in flour to form a roux, cooking until bubbly. Gradually add milk, stirring until thickened. Add nutmeg and remove from heat.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil, sauté garlic for 1 minute, add mushrooms and cook until golden brown, then add spinach and stir until wilted.
  3. Layer Lasagna: Preheat oven to 375°F. Start with a layer of béchamel, then noodles, half of the mushroom-spinach mix, and mozzarella. Repeat layers, finishing with béchamel and a top layer of cheese.
  4. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  5. Rest & Serve: Let lasagna rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
