Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Boil salted water in a large pot, cook the lasagna noodles until al dente, and drain. Set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, sauté onion until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Add garlic for another minute.
Add sliced mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook until mushrooms are tender. Fold in chopped spinach and cook until wilted, then remove from heat.
Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Place three lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the ricotta cheese, half of the mushroom mixture, and a sprinkle of one-third of both mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
Repeat the layers for a second time, ending with a final layer of marinara sauce topped with the remaining cheeses.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
