🧀 COTTAGE CHEESE MUSHROOM & SPINACH LASAGNA
🛒 INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• ½ cup grated Parmesan
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (or parsley)
🍳 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prep zucchini (IMPORTANT for texture)
• Slice zucchini lengthwise into thin strips
• Lightly salt and let sit 10–15 min
• Pat dry with paper towel (removes water → prevents soggy lasagna)
2. Cook mushrooms & spinach
• Heat olive oil in pan (medium heat)
• Add mushrooms → cook until golden (5–7 min)
• Add spinach → cook until wilted
• Season with salt & pepper
👉 Let mixture cool slightly
3. Make cheese filling
Mix in bowl:
• Cottage cheese
• Mozzarella
• Parmesan
• Egg
• Garlic powder + herbs
👉 Mix until creamy and smooth
4. Assemble lasagna
In baking dish:
1. Zucchini layer
2. Mushroom + spinach layer
3. Cheese mixture
👉 Repeat layers (2–3 times)
Finish with:
• Extra mozzarella + Parmesan on top
5. Bake
• Oven: 375°F (190°C)
• Bake 35–40 minutes until:
✔ Golden top
✔ Bubbling edges
👉 Broil 2–3 min for crispy top (optional but 🔥 for video)
6. Rest (VERY IMPORTANT)
• Let sit 10 minutes before cutting
👉 This gives you perfect slices (and better cheese stretch on camera)
