Instructions

1

Step 1

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles until they’re tender but still have a little bite, about 8 minutes. Drain them and lay the noodles out on paper towels to dry while you prepare the sauce.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the oil and add the mushrooms, onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and any extra moisture has mostly evaporated—this should take around 15 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, vinegar, half a teaspoon of salt, and crushed red pepper. Let everything come to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for about 8 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it heats, mix together the ricotta, egg, rosemary, black pepper, and the remaining half teaspoon of salt in a bowl.

Step 4

Grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and spray it lightly with cooking spray. Start by spreading about three-quarters of a cup of the mushroom mixture on the bottom. Layer on three noodles, then half of the leftover mushroom mixture, and sprinkle with two-thirds of a cup of shredded cheese. Repeat this with three more noodles, half of the ricotta mixture, and half of the squash. Next, add three more noodles, the remaining mushroom mixture, and another two-thirds cup of shredded cheese. Finish with the last three noodles and the rest of the squash, topping everything with the remaining shredded cheese.

Step 5

Bake the lasagna uncovered for about 30 minutes, until it’s hot and bubbling. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 12 pieces. For a fresh touch, garnish with some sage leaves before serving.
