Ingredients

Units Scale

1 lbs (454 g) oven ready lasagna noodles
3.5 cups (832 ml) unsweetened almond milk
8 tbsp unsalted butter
0.3 cups (71 ml) all purpose flour
1.5 tsp salt
0.5 tsp pepper
0.5 tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lbs (454 g) crimini mushrooms
8 oz (227 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
0.5 cups (118 ml) grated parmesan
2 tbsp chopped fresh sage

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small saucepan, add the milk and bring to a simmer.
In a separate large saucepan, heat 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the flour, whisking constantly until the flour is mixed in.
Pour the warm milk into the butter/flour mixture and whisk until smooth. Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Taste and add more salt if needed. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped sage and set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter and the oil to a large saucepan. Add the mushrooms, remaining sage, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5–7 minutes until mushrooms begin to soften.
Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish and begin layering the ingredients, starting with a light layer of sauce on the bottom of the dish. Add a layer of noodles, a little more sauce, then mushrooms, a little mozzarella, and parmesan. Repeat layers, finishing with the cheese on top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top is slightly browned.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use a combination of cremini and shiitake mushrooms.
To prevent soggy lasagna, ensure the noodles are fully cooked before layering.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
