Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Sausage Meat
  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Small Onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic crushed
  • 8 oz Mushrooms diced
  • 8 oz Baby Spinach
  • 1 tsp Fennel Seeds
  • ¼ cup Butter

  • ¼ tsp ground Nutmeg
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 cups Ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups Mozzarella shredded
  • 1 cup Parmesan finely shredded
  • 8-12 Lasagna noodles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Heat a heavy based pot over a medium high heat, drizzle in some olive oil and then add the sausage meat to brown for 5-8 minutes.
  • Add the onion, garlic, mushrooms, baby spinach, and fennel seeds into the pot and saute for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and the spinach is wilted. Set it aside to cool a little
  • For the white sauce, melt butter, toss in flour, mix them until a smooth roux forms, then gradually add milk. Don't forget to sprinkle nutmeg and seasoning salt while stirring until the sauce thickens.
  • Add the ricotta and 1 ½ cups of the mozzarella into the pot and mix.
  • Now it's time to layer your lasagna- starting with white sauce, then lasagna sheets, and finally the meat sauce. Go for three repeats in a 9x9 inch casserole dish.
  • Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
