Homestyle Mushroom and Veggie Lasagna

As a Mom with two toddlers and a busy husband, I try to create casseroles, Crock-Pot meals, and hearty pasta dishes a few nights a week for dinner. These meals are easy to prepare and usually provide lots of leftovers which is great for lunch for all of us the next day {and dinner too!}.
This lasagna recipe is just what my family and I like- flavorful, cheesy, and filling! Bonus: it’s filled with veggies and my kids couldn’t even tell! 
I used new RAGÚ Homestyle sauces in the Thick and Hearty Mushroom flavor for my Mushroom and Veggie Lasagna and I love the delicious made-from-scratch taste!
 
 RAGÚ Homestyle sauces are available in five bold flavors – Traditional, Meat, Roasted Garlic, Four Cheese and Mushroom. These Homestyle sauces are made from a blend of 100% California-grown, vine-ripened tomatoes, onions and fragrant herbs such as basil, oregano, fennel and ground black pepper. They contain no artificial colors, no artificial flavors and no high-fructose corn syrup. 
I cannot wait to try every flavor of these thick and hearty sauces on my pasta dishes!

  • 8oz pkg mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small head of broccoli, stem removed and chopped into florets
  • 1 cup carrots, diced {I used frozen crinkle cut}
  • 8oz pkg frozen spinach, cooked and drained
  • salt/pepper, to taste
  • olive oil, for saute
  • 15oz container Ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Directions:

  1. Cook lasagna according to the package instructions.
  2. Drain and rinse in cold water. Set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  4. In a large skillet, add olive oil and add sliced mushrooms and onions. 
  5. Saute over medium heat until softened then add garlic.
  6. Stir for a minute, season with salt and pepper, and remove from heat.
  7. For the additional veggies, steam or saute until tender. You can use chopped fresh or frozen vegetables.
  8. Coat a 13X9 baking dish with cooking spray.
  9. Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of the dish.
  10. Add a layer of lasagna noodles, usually 3-4.
  11. Top with 1/3 of the ricotta, spread to cover.

  15. For the last layers, add lasagna noodles, the remaining ricotta cheese, the rest of the spinach along with the broccoli florets.
  16. Top with the remaining marinara sauce, another cup of mozzarella cheese, and the Parmesan cheese.

New RAGÚ Homestyle sauces were the perfect flavorful, hearty sauce for this lasagna.
I used the Thick and Hearty Mushroom Sauce and it’s my new favorite!

Saute over medium heat until softened then add garlic.

Not only did my husband and I enjoy this meal, but my daughters, ages 1 and 3 ate ALL of their veggie lasagna too! Talk about getting your veggies all in one dish!

🌳 ✨️NWA Must See : Listening Forest by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. 
My family and I had the pleasure of experiencing this nighttime interactive exhibit at @crystalbridgesmuseum last week. It was unlike anything we have ever done before and we spent two fun filled hours exploring the lighted forest and all the lights, music, sculptures, and sounds within. Hands down one of the best experiences we have had so far in Arkansas!

It's #WhatchaReadingWednesday (a day late, whoops!). I was so excited to find this Choose Your Own Adventure book at @samsclub and it's a #StrangerThings story! I loved these books growing up and I am super excited they are making a comeback. This easy read is perfect for throwing in your bag and picking up anytime you have a break and want to read a chapter or two of a story. Super excited to read this one and you know I plan of reading all 25 endings! ✨️
