Ingredients for Microwave Lasagne With Spinach, Mushrooms, and Three Cheeses

• 1 (15–450g ) container part-skim ricotta

• 1 (275g) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed in paper towels to remove excess moisture

• 1 garlic clove, very finely chopped

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

• 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

• 350g grated mozzarella (about 250g ), divided

• 80g grated Parmesan (about 60g ), divided

• 1 (675g) jar marinara sauce

• 6 no-boil lasagne noodles

• 230g crimini mushrooms, trimmed, sliced 1/4-inch thick, divided

• 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

• A deep 8x8-inch microwave-proof baking dish

Mix ricotta, spinach, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, if using, pepper, 230g mozzarella, and 40g Parmesan in a large bowl.

Spread 120ml marinara evenly in bottom of baking dish. Top with 2 lasagne noodles. Coat noodles with 120ml marinara. Top with half of the ricotta mixture and half of the mushrooms. Repeat with 2 noodles, 120ml marinara, and remaining ricotta mixture and mushrooms.

Top with remaining 2 noodles, sauce, and 180ml mozzarella. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Parmesan.

Cover dish with parchment, then cover again with an overturned large microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high 15 minutes. Carefully check to see if noodles are tender; if not, re-cover and microwave in 1-minute bursts until tender.

Let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Very carefully remove parchment. Sprinkle with parsley and remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and serve.
