1 box of lasagna noodles
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 can of crushed tomatoes
1 cup of ricotta cheese
1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms

First things first, drain the preserved mushrooms and give them a good rinse under cold water. This will help remove any excess salt or preservatives. Then, chop the mushrooms into small pieces. You can use a mix of different types of preserved mushrooms for a more complex flavor.

Step 2: Cook the Onion and Garlic

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until they are softened and fragrant. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3: Add the Mushrooms

Once the onion and garlic are cooked, add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender. You can season the mushrooms with a little salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Make the Tomato Sauce

Add the can of crushed tomatoes to the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

Step 5: Prepare the Cheese Mixture

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and the egg. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 6: Cook the Lasagna Noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to the package instructions. Usually, this takes about 8-10 minutes. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and set them aside.

Step 7: Assemble the Lasagna

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce on the bottom. Then, place a layer of lasagna noodles on top of the sauce. Spread a layer of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of the mushroom-tomato sauce. Repeat the layers until you have used up all the ingredients, ending with a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 8: Bake the Lasagna

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the lasagna are golden brown.

Step 9: Let it Rest

Once the lasagna is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the lasagna to set and make it easier to cut.

Tips and Tricks

You can add other vegetables to the lasagna, such as spinach or bell peppers, for extra flavor and nutrition.
If you don't have ricotta cheese, you can use cottage cheese instead. Just make sure to drain it well before using.
You can also make the lasagna ahead of time and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake it. This is a great option for meal prepping.
