Provided by Dairy Free for Baby

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tbsp olive oil
2 cups chopped baby portabella mushrooms, chopped roughly
5 ounces baby spinach, chopped roughly
9 lasagna noodles
1 pound ground beef ((recommend 85/15)*)
1/2 red onion, diced
24 ounce jar of pasta sauce ((double check dairy free))
16 ounces Barrett's Garden fauxcotta ((or another dairy-free ricotta substitute))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Also, fill a large pot with water and set it over high heat on the stove, as you'll use this to boil the lasagna noodles.
  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, until tender.
  • Stir in spinach and cook for another 2 minutes, until the spinach is lightly wilted. Set the veggie mixture aside in a bowl.
  • By this point, your water should be boiling. Place the lasagna noodles in and cook according to package directions. Drain them when done.
  • Meanwhile, while noodles are cooking, you'll prepare the meat sauce. Wipe out the skillet you used for the veggies, and return to medium heat. Add your ground beef and red onions. Brown the ground beef, around 5-7 minutes. If needed, drain any excess fat from the skillet (this will depend on the fat percentage of the meat used).
  • Set aside 1/3 cup pasta sauce, and then dump the remaining sauce into the skillet with the meat. Cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • In a 13x9 baking dish, spread the 1/3 cup pasta sauce on the bottom. Add your first three lasagna noodles. Layer first with 1/2 the fauxcotta, 1/2 the spinach/mushrooms, and 1/3 meat sauce. Add your next layer of lasagna noodles and repeat. Then add the final layer and top with the remaining meat sauce.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes uncovered. Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it is wilted.
  • Use a good quality ricotta cheese. Ricotta cheese is one of the main ingredients in this lasagna, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a ricotta cheese that is smooth and creamy, with a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Use a no-boil lasagna noodle. No-boil lasagna noodles are a great time-saver. They can be cooked directly in the oven, so you don't have to worry about boiling them first.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to add other ingredients that you like. Some popular additions include mushrooms, zucchini, and sun-dried tomatoes.

Conclusion:

This lactose-free spinach lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
