1 md Yellow onion; chopped (about
1 cup)
1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
2 Garlic cloves; crushed
8 ounce Mushrooms; cut or sliced up thin
(optional)
One fourth cup Fresh parsley; chopped
1 pack Frozen spinach; (10 oz.)
thawed, drained thoroughly
One fourth teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Dried basil
One half teaspoon Dried oregano
2 cup Meatless tomato or spaghetti

1 Container partskim or
reduced fat ricotta cheese;
(15 oz.)
Three fourths cup Shredded; partskim
mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoon Grated Parmesan cheese

Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain and cover with cool
water until ready to use.

While pasta is cooking, combine onions and oil in a skillet over medium
heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute.
Spoon out half the onions and reserve for later. Add the mushrooms (if
using) to the onions in the skillet. Cook, stirring over medium heat, until
the mushrooms are tender and slightly browned, about 7 minutes. Add the
parsley and a pinch of salt; transfer to a bowl.

Add the reserved cooked onion and the spinach to the skillet. Cover and
cook over medium heat until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Uncover
and cook over medium heat to evaporate any excess moisture, about 1 minute.
Season with a pinch of salt.

Heat oven to 350º F. Drain the lasagne and pat dry with paper towels. Mix
the oregano and basil with the tomato sauce. Spread 1 cup tomato sauce in
the bottom of a 13 x 9 x 3inch pan. Arrange 3 lasagne pieces, slightly
overlapping, in the pan. Spoon the spinach mixture on top in an even layer.
Spread with half of the ricotta. Sprinkle with One fourth cup of the shredded
mozzarella cheese.

Arrange a layer of 3 more lasagne pieces. Spread with the mushrooms, the
remaining ricotta mixture, and One fourth cup of the mozzarella. Top with the
remaining 3 pieces of lasagne, 1 cup of tomato sauce and One half cup of the
mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake until brown and
bubbly, about 45 minutes. Each serving provides: 243 Calories; 15.1 g
