INGREDIENT NOTES:

NOODLES:

• Use the regular noodles or oven-ready noodles to make this dish. Add some additional sauce to oven-ready noodles. Regular noodles provide the soft texture, while the oven ones provide the firm layers like lasagna sheets.

MUSHROOMS:

• We use a variety of mushrooms in this recipe. Cremini or button mushrooms add a deep, savory taste. They release the moisture content during cooking, which helps the base to remain soft.

SPINACH:

• It is best to use the fresh spinach as it cooks quickly and blends smoothly in the sauce. Use the frozen spinach if required; thaw and drain all the additional water before use.

RICOTTA CHEESE:

• Use store-bought ricotta cheese to prepare this recipe, as it works easily. You can also use the tofu ricotta to add creaminess in the recipe.

• Use the simple marinara sauce without the additional sugar to provide the best taste. Always use the thick sauce to make the layers clean.
